⚠️ Mandatory Compliance

FBR Has Made Digital Invoicing Mandatory for All Businesses

July 1, 2025 marked a turning point in Pakistan's tax system. Under SRO 709(I)/2025 and SRO 69(I)/2025, all sales tax registered businesses must submit invoices electronically through FBR's IRIS system. Every sale must now generate a JSON invoice with a unique FBR number and QR code — automatically, in real-time.

Businesses that ignore this mandate face invoice invalidation (your buyers can't claim input tax), operational suspension, ATL blacklisting, and fines that escalate with each violation.

FBR Penalty Schedule

Not integrating by deadline Rs. 500,000

Subsequent violation Rs. 1,000,000

Further violations Rs. 2M – 3M

Per non-compliant invoice Rs. 50,000 or 2% tax

ATL blacklisting No govt. contracts

SRO 709(I)/2025 — Mandatory E-Invoicing Issued April 22, 2025. All registered businesses must generate and submit sales tax invoices in real-time through FBR's centralized IRIS portal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Still have questions? Contact our team anytime.

What is FBR IRIS integration and why do I need it?

FBR IRIS (Integrated Revenue Information System) is Pakistan's centralized e-invoicing platform. Under Sales Tax Rule 150Q and SRO 709(I)/2025, all registered businesses must connect their invoicing system to IRIS. When you issue a sales tax invoice, it must be submitted to FBR in real-time, validated, and given a unique FBR Invoice Number — which must then appear on your customer's invoice. Without this, your invoices are legally invalid and your customers cannot claim input tax adjustments.

Why is PRAL integration better than other licensed integrators?

PRAL (Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited) is FBR's official IT arm. Other licensed integrators (there are about 30 approved ones) charge significant fees — sometimes PKR 1–5+ lakh — for IRIS connectivity on top of their service fees. Our platform uses PRAL integration with no hidden markup — the integration is included in our one-time setup fee, so you get the same FBR-compliant connectivity at a fraction of what competitors charge.

What are the penalties for non-compliance?

FBR has an escalating penalty structure: Rs. 500,000 for the first violation (not integrating), Rs. 1,000,000 for subsequent violations, and up to Rs. 3,000,000 for continued non-compliance. Additionally, Rs. 50,000 or 2% of tax (whichever is higher) per non-compliant invoice. Businesses can also be placed on the ATL blacklist — preventing access to government contracts, bank loans, and other benefits. As of November 2025, FBR had collected Rs. 2.3 billion in penalties.

How long does it take to go live?

Our standard implementation takes 3 weeks: Week 1 covers account setup and IRIS integration; Week 2 covers data migration and user training; Week 3 is go-live with full support. We handle all the FBR scenario testing and sandbox validation required before production — you don't need to manage any technical complexity.

Does this work with my existing ERP (SAP, Oracle, ERPNext)?

Yes. We offer REST API integration with all major ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, ERPNext, and custom in-house systems. Our API documentation is comprehensive and our team provides technical support throughout the integration. We also support bulk Excel upload if you prefer not to use API integration, and have webhook notifications for real-time updates back to your systems.

What information must be included in an FBR digital invoice?

FBR requires 12 mandatory master-level fields (Invoice Type, Sales Value, Total Retail Price, etc.) and 13 item-level fields per line item (including HS Code, Product Code, SRO Item Serial Number). The submitted invoice must return a unique 22-digit FBR Invoice Number, and the final customer invoice must include a QR code and this number. Our system auto-generates all required fields and handles the QR code — you just enter your invoice data.

Is my invoice and business data secure?

Absolutely. We use SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmission, 256-bit AES encryption for stored documents, multi-factor authentication, and conduct regular security audits. Our infrastructure complies with international data protection standards. All invoices are securely archived for the mandatory 6-year FBR retention period with automated backups and disaster recovery.

Can I try the platform before committing?

Yes. We offer a free consultation call to assess your specific needs, followed by a tailored proposal. You can also schedule a live demo of the platform. Our agreements have no long-term lock-ins — you can cancel monthly subscriptions at any time. The one-time setup fee covers your FBR integration, training, and 30-day post-launch support.
