Kamalia's khaddar merchants, power-loom owners and online sellers register for an NTN to deal with retailers, marketplaces and banks, and to secure filer rates on property.
Merchants Supplying Big Retailers
Clothing chains and wholesale buyers in Lahore, Karachi and Faisalabad pay suppliers through banks and ask for an NTN and often a sales tax number. A Kamalia merchant who registers can supply them directly instead of through middlemen in Faisalabad.
Online Khaddar Brands
Marketplaces and payment gateways require seller registration details before releasing payouts. Young entrepreneurs selling Kamalia khaddar under their own brand online should register at the start, so that the brand's income is in its own account from the first order.
Power-Loom Owners
The NTN is the first step for a loom shed that needs sales tax registration, which also involves verification of the premises and electricity connection.
Arhtis and Grain Traders
Flour mills buying through Kamalia's arhtis withhold tax, at a lower rate from active filers.
Families Buying Plots
Filer status lowers advance tax when plots in Kamalia, Toba Tek Singh or Faisalabad are transferred.
Getting Registered
IRIS registration uses a CNIC, a mobile number in your own name and the address of your shop or shed as written on the rent agreement or electricity bill. Each screen is explained in our FBR registration guide.
Women Weavers
Women who weave or embroider at home for Kamalia's merchants can register under their own CNIC when they start selling directly, keeping their earnings in their own accounts.
