ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has decided to create 25 posts of ‘Commissioner Refund’ in the field formations for speedy processing of refund cases from July 1, 2024.

I have been waiting for the last over five years for refund of my income tax, have visited their office at least half a dozen times but to no avail. There was need to create extra posts for refund.

@Aam Aadmi, there is a need to automate the process, once itr approved or 3 months lapse on submition on IRS system; rather involve manual system for just forwarding .

I thought the government was trying to reduce staff to save money? Will these new posts help speed up refunds? I though the delay was because there was no money.
