As of April 1, 2026, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has incorporated 12,950 major stores into its Point of Sale (POS) system in an attempt to record retail transactions.
The POS integration requires retailers to issue digitally recorded invoices, which are automatically transmitted to the FBR system. This allows authorities to monitor sales activity more closely and identify discrepancies in reported data. The system also supports improved audit processes and helps create a more standardized framework for retail transactions across different sectors.
Official data indicates that the integration brings 35,953 branches and outlets into the system, including Tier-I merchants, textile and leather retailers, and eateries.
23,784 branches are linked to the POS network, and 11,376 Tier-I shops have been registered overall. Additionally, 561 textile and leather merchants with 10,626 branches and 1,013 eateries with 1,543 branches have been integrated.
Real-time reporting of sales transactions to the FBR is made possible by the POS system, which improves business activity monitoring and recordkeeping.
The program is a part of continuous efforts to improve tax transparency and compliance, especially among major service providers and retailers.
The interface facilitates more accurate sales reporting and strengthens documentation of the retail industry by directly connecting retail locations with the tax authority’s system.
