What is FBR Lucky Draw?
To encourage documentation of the economy and increase the tax net FBR initiated a step by integration of Point of Sales (POS) of tier 1 retailers with the FBR system. Under this step, any invoice which is generated through this integrated software is shared with FBR in real-time. It will help both to increase revenue and transparency.
Federal board of Revenue (FBR) started a lucky draw scheme to motivate the general public to purchase goods from those tier 1 retailers integrated with the FBR POS invoice system. The first prize of Rs.1 Million will be given to the winner who buys from the retailers integrated with the POS machines. There will be four prizes / third prize valued at Rs.250,000 each, and two prizes / second prize of Rs.500,000 each. Third prize – there will also be a long list of general prizes of Rs 50,000 each for 1,000 persons. There will be total prizes of Rs. 53 million for the winners who’ll admit POS- integrated bills for their purchases.
