FBR issues clarification on access to banking transactions

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has issued a clarification on the messages circulating in emails and social media regarding access of the revenue board on banking transactions.

The FBR has clarified that there is no linkage or access to banking transactions at any level with the banks or financial institutions. Similarly, there is no fingerprint authentication mechanism available with the FBR.

The tax profile data of the FBR has only offline bank account numbers, which are not linked with the banks or financial institutions; therefore, there is absolutely no risk of any access to banking transactions at any level.
