Kalat residents register for an NTN to sell fruit and minerals to buyers who pay through banks, deal with government departments and buy property at filer rates.
Fruit Growers Selling to City Wholesalers
Wholesalers and supermarket suppliers in Karachi buying Kalat apples pay by bank transfer and increasingly ask for the seller's NTN. A grower or trader who registers can deal with them directly.

Applying
IRIS registration uses your CNIC, a phone number registered to you and an email. Our FBR registration guide covers each step.
Orchard Owners Buying Vehicles
Pick-ups and trucks used to carry fruit attract lower advance tax at registration when the buyer is an active filer.
