Specifying Income Tax Payment (Optional): If you selected “Income Tax,” you will further need to specify the type of income tax payment based on your situation:

For specific details regarding each type of income tax payment, consult with a tax professional or refer to the FBR’s official resources. For Admitted Tax taxpayer can directly create the challan at time of filing of return by simply clicking on Create Psid option next to admitted tax amount.
-
Generating PSID (Payment Slip ID): Upon selecting the appropriate tax category, the system will generate a Payment Slip ID (PSID). This unique identifier represents your electronic challan.
-
Review and Submit: Carefully review all details on the generated PSID, including the tax type, amount, and due date. Ensure everything is accurate before proceeding.
-
Payment Options: Once confirmed, you will be directed to a page offering various payment options. Choose your preferred method, which could include:
- Online banking through a linked account
- Debit/Credit card payment gateways (availability depends on your bank)
- E-wallets (if supported)
Remember: Specific payment channels and processing times may vary depending on the chosen method.
- Payment Confirmation: After successful payment processing, you will receive a confirmation message and may be able to download a copy of the payment challan for your records.
Additional Considerations:
- Manual Challan Submission (Optional): While online payment is highly recommended, the generated PSID can also be used to create a manual challan form. Download the PSID and visit your nearest National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) or State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) branch to submit the payment in person.
- Retention of Records: Maintain copies of your PSID and payment confirmation for future reference.
- Tax Professional Assistance: If you encounter any difficulties or have any specific questions regarding your tax payments or challan generation, it’s advisable to consult with a tax professional for expert guidance.
