The National Board of Revenue has taken special measures for taxpayers who could not submit their tax returns online due to not having biometrically-verified mobile SIM cards.

To complete registration on the e-Return system for return submission, these taxpayers must submit a written application in person at room number 717 of the NBR.

Typically, a taxpayer must have a verified SIM card to log into the e-Return system. However, the tax administrator, which shared this information today in a statement, has introduced this measure as many taxpayers were facing difficulties.

Currently, approximately 10 lakh taxpayers have filed their taxes through the e-Return system. The NBR has requested the remaining taxpayers to file their returns by January 31 of next year.
