Renala Khurd, in Okara district on the Lower Bari Doab canal, is known for its fruit farms, its historic hydroelectric station from the 1920s and its dairy and farming villages. Orchard owners, fruit processors' suppliers, dairies and traders register for an NTN here.
Supplying Fruit Processors
Renala's citrus and mango orchards supply juice and jam processors as well as markets in Lahore. Processing companies pay growers and contractors by bank transfer and ask for an NTN, withholding tax at a lower rate from active filers. The fruit income of an orchard owner remains agricultural; registration simply allows payment into the owner's account.
Orchard Contractors
Contractors who buy the season's crop and sell to processors and markets are traders and need an NTN for invoices.
Dairy Collection
