Loralai residents register for an NTN to sell fruit and coal to buyers who pay through banks, supply the cantonment and departments, or buy property at filer rates.
Orchard Owners Sending Fruit Down-Country
Loralai's apple and almond growers who send their own produce to commission agents in Lahore, Multan or Karachi are increasingly paid by bank transfer. The commission agent's accounts may ask for an NTN, and registering makes those payments straightforward even though the fruit income itself is agricultural.
Almond and Dry Fruit Traders
Traders who buy almonds on the trees, shell, grade and sell them to dry fruit wholesalers in Punjab need an NTN for invoices and bank accounts.
Coal Supplied to Brick Kilns
Lease holders sending coal to brick kilns in Punjab are asked by larger buyers for registration, and kilns that withhold tax do so at a lower rate for active filers.
Contractors at the Cantonment
Suppliers of rations, maintenance and transport to Loralai cantonment are registered before they are paid.
Truck Owners on the Fort Munro Route
Truck owners carrying fruit and coal through Fort Munro towards Dera Ghazi Khan register to work for companies and to adjust the advance tax paid with their annual vehicle tax.
Registering
The IRIS process takes a CNIC, a phone number registered in your own name and your address. Our FBR registration guide shows each step.
Teachers and Officials
Salaried residents can register on IRIS and file their own returns to claim back excess withholding.
Teachers who run private academies register those separately.
