The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) decided to depute Inland Revenue Service (IR) officials for electronic monitoring of sugar mills as the crushing season is approaching fast.
According to the details, FBR deputed these experienced and competent officials under Section 40-A of the Sales Tax Act. These officials will be responsible for curbing tax evasion and sugar hoarding.
These officials will monitor production, sale, and stock of sugar and will prepare a complete record daily.
These officials will keep an eye on the sugar movement, special going out from the sugar mill premises.
The Federal Board of Revenue adopted comprehensive measures to strengthen the monitoring of sugar mills.
In October 2025, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has made video analytics-based monitoring mandatory for all sugar mills across Pakistan. The initiative aims to ensure transparency in sugar production and combat tax evasion in one of the country’s most revenue-sensitive industries.
According to an official notification, the FBR has formally launched a digital monitoring system that will enable real-time tracking of sugar production through advanced video analytics technology.
The system will allow continuous observation of production lines and help authorities identify any discrepancies in reported figures.
