The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is set to tighten the noose around non-filers with a series of stringent measures. Sources have informed ProPakistani that, in the first phase, the mobile SIM cards of non-filers will be blocked. The FBR plans to issue the Income Tax General order by January 15 in this regard, as per the sources. Additionally, the FBR is devising a strategy to cut electricity connections of non-filers. However, the FBR currently lacks complete data on the electricity connections of non-filers and is also apprehensive that cutting electricity connections may result in legal challenges.
