Understanding the trigger helps us build the strongest defense. These are the most common reasons FBR issues notices to individuals and businesses in Pakistan:
Large deposits, transfers, or credits in your bank account that don't match your declared income. FBR receives bank data and flags discrepancies automatically.
Buying property above a certain value triggers FBR scrutiny if your declared income doesn't support the purchase price. Capital Gains Tax on property sales is also a common trigger.
Registering expensive vehicles triggers WHT and potential income scrutiny. FBR cross-references vehicle registration data with tax records.
FBR's AI system identifies persons who should be filing but aren't — based on property data, bank records, CNIC transactions, and withholding tax data. Non-filers receive Section 114 notices.
Large foreign remittances received in Pakistani bank accounts are reported to FBR. If not properly declared as income, they can trigger Section 111 unexplained income notices.
If FBR's data shows your lifestyle expenses, property, or business activity is inconsistent with your declared income, they can issue notices to verify or reassess your returns.
The quality of your notice response depends on the documents you can produce. Start gathering these immediately:

FBR notices are formal communications from the Federal Board of Revenue requiring a response. Every notice has a specific legal section, a specific query, and a response deadline. Missing the deadline is the most dangerous mistake you can make.
| Notice Section | What It Means | Deadline | Risk Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Section 111 | Unexplained income or assets | 30 days | CRITICAL |
| Section 114 | Required to file return | 15 days | HIGH |
| Section 122 | Amendment to assessment | 21-30 days | HIGH |
| Section 137 | Tax demand unpaid | 30 days | HIGH |
| Section 176 | Information / document request | 21 days | MEDIUM |
| Section 177 | Audit selection | 60 days | HIGH |
| Section 182 | Penalty for non-compliance | 15 days | MEDIUM |
If you do not respond to an FBR notice within the deadline, the Commissioner issues an ex-parte assessment order. This means FBR estimates your income and tax without your input — typically resulting in a very high tax demand. You then have 30 days to file an appeal with the Commissioner (Appeals), which is far more complex and expensive than responding to the original notice.
For every rupee of unexplained income or assets, you need documentary proof of the source:
Respond within 30 days by submitting a written reply via IRIS (FBR portal) under the Correspondence section. Your reply must explain the source of each unexplained amount with documentary evidence (bank statements, inheritance documents, remittance records). Kamboh Associates drafts Section 111 replies within 24 hours. Call 0328-4675162 immediately.
Yes. If FBR issues an assessment order you believe is wrong, you can appeal to the Commissioner (Appeals) within 30 days, then to the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR) within 60 days of the appellate order, and finally to the High Court on questions of law. Kamboh Associates represents clients at all appeal levels.
