KCCI Clarifies No Extension in FBR Biometric Verification Deadline Under SRO 350


The Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has issued an important circular for its members, clarifying that the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has not extended the deadline for biometric verification required under SRO 350.

According to the KCCI, the deadline for completing biometric verification remains July 31, 2026. The Chamber advised members not to rely on unverified reports circulating on social media or other platforms claiming that the deadline has been extended or revised.

The KCCI further stated that the growing number of simultaneous biometric verification requests has placed significant pressure on the system, resulting in server congestion and operational disruptions. To help avoid unnecessary delays and technical issues, members have been advised not to rush the process at the same time.

Instead, businesses and taxpayers are encouraged to complete their biometric verification at their convenience before the July 31, 2026 deadline to ensure compliance with FBR requirements under SRO 350.

The Chamber emphasized that timely completion of the verification process will help members avoid last-minute complications while ensuring smooth compliance with tax regulations.
