Dear Sir/Madam,

Implementation of Device Identification Registration & Blocking System (DIRBS)

Please refer to FD Circular Letter No. 5 of 2018 whereby instructions were issued to all Banks to activate OTC facility for collection of FBR taxes and duties. |

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) in coordination with Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) had developed DIRBS system across Pakistan for the purpose of generating challans/Payment System ID (PSID) and its payment through banks’ Alternate Delivery Channel (ADC) Over-the-Counter (OTC) facility and ATMs. Now, PTA intends to rollout the DIRBS system across AJK and GB region on similar lines for convenience of general public intending to register their mobile devices.

With a view to ensure that taxpayers have the facility to pay the DIRBS duty/levy through OTC and ATMs facility, all Commercial and Microfinance Banks are advised to make available the aforesaid payment facility at their branches located within the territorial jurisdiction of AJK and GB. Furthermore, necessary instructions by the banks may also be issued to concerned branches to depute officials who are well-versed with the DIRBS system.
