Date Updated: September 2025
Starting 1 July 2025, Pakistan’s Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) will require an FBR Eligibility Certificate before the purchase or transfer of high-value property or luxury vehicles. Without this certificate, property registration or vehicle transfer will not proceed.
Who Needs This Certificate

|---|---|---|
| Residential Property | Above Rs 50 million | Luxury & high-value home buyers |
| Commercial Property | Above Rs 100 million | Investors & developers |
| Vehicles | Over Rs 7 million | Luxury car importers & buyers |

- Legal Requirement: No sale or transfer above the threshold can be registered without the certificate.
- Active Taxpayer Verification: Confirms you appear on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL) and taxes are current.

Documents Required
- Valid CNIC and registered mobile number (for OTP verification)
- Up-to-date IRIS tax profile with correct name, address, and income details
