Rajanpur, Punjab's south-western district between the Indus and the Suleman range, is a farming district of cotton, wheat and sugarcane, with hill-torrent land, riverine kacha areas and towns such as Jampur and Fazilpur.
Ginners and Cotton Traders
Rajanpur's cotton goes to ginners in Jampur and Rajanpur who sell lint to mills in Multan and Faisalabad. Spinning mills require the ginner's NTN and sales tax registration before buying, and they withhold income tax on purchases at a lower rate for active filers.
Sugar Mill Suppliers
Transporters and labour contractors working for mills in the region are asked for an NTN before the crushing season.
Contractors on Flood Protection and Roads
Hill torrents from the Suleman range and floods from the Indus regularly damage roads and embankments. The irrigation and works departments rebuild them through registered contractors and check filer status before deciding withholding.
Shops in Jampur and Rajanpur
Retailers who want card machines or wallet merchant accounts need business accounts, opened after registration.
