The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and Provincial Revenue Authorities (PRAs) have recently implemented a new regulation requiring taxpayers to register using their CNIC-linked mobile number. This move aims to enhance the security and accuracy of taxpayer information and streamline communication between tax authorities and taxpayers.

Why is this update important?

• Security: Using a CNIC-linked mobile number adds an extra layer of security to your taxpayer profile.
• Verification: It simplifies the verification process for tax authorities, ensuring that only genuine taxpayers are registered.
• Communication: Tax authorities can now send important notifications and updates directly to your registered mobile number, reducing the risk of missing critical information.

How to update your profile information:

1. Log in to the FBR/PRA portal: Access the relevant portal and log in to your taxpayer account.
2. Navigate to the profile section: Find the “My Profile” section on the portal.
3. Update your mobile number: Enter your CNIC-linked mobile number in the designated field.
4. Verify your mobile number: You will be required to verify your mobile number through a verification code.
5. Save your changes: Once you’ve entered the correct information, save your updated profile.

It is crucial to update your profile information as soon as possible to avoid any inconvenience or penalties. By complying with this new regulation, you can ensure smooth tax filing and avoid any potential issues with tax authorities.
