In order to ensure transparency and least human interaction of FBR’s employees with the taxpayers, it has been decided to stop the practice of issuance of refund cheques forthwith and directly credit the amount cheques of income tax refunds into the bank accounts of the taxpayers.
Preliminary the refund amount was paid through a cheque from the RTO office, due to involvement of the employees of FBR ,corruption was frequently reported,to cap the corruption related issues, Federal board of Revenue launched the direct deposit system.
For this purpose, IBAN bank Accounts of the taxpayers are needed to be updated in their IRIS profiles. FBR has enabled the IRIS profile for all taxpayers and therefore, you are requested to update IRIS profile with your IBAN Bank Account Number details.
For your convenience, Bank Account updation has been made available on Iris main dashboard. Following are steps:
