If you’re a business owner in Pakistan, you’re likely already aware of the recent changes brought by S.R.O. 709(I)/2025 and FBR Digital Invoicing Mandates. These regulations are reshaping the way businesses in Pakistan handle sales reporting and compliance.”
Let’s break it down in simple terms — and show you how to stay compliant while making the most of digital invoicing technology.
Understanding S.R.O. 709(I)/2025 and FBR Digital Invoicing Mandates
S.R.O. 709(I)/2025 is a notification issued by Pakistan’s Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), which outlines mandatory compliance for businesses to adopt digital invoicing under the FBR’s Point of Sale (POS) integration system.
The main goal?
To bring transparency, minimize tax evasion, and digitally track real-time sales data through direct POS integration with FBR.
This applies to businesses across several sectors — especially those operating in retail, wholesale, and manufacturing — with a strong push toward using POS software that supports e-invoicing.
Benefits of S.R.O. 709(I)/2025 and FBR Digital Invoicing Mandates
Under the FBR’s digital invoicing framework, registered businesses are required to:
Issue real-time digital sales invoices
Transmit invoices directly to FBR’s central database
Integrate their POS system with FBR’s invoicing portal
Use Fiscal Integration Devices (FID) where necessary
Maintain digital records for auditing and tax purposes
These mandates are part of FBR’s broader digitization plan to improve tax collection, transparency, and business accountability across Pakistan.
Who Needs to Comply with S.R.O. 709(I)/2025?
The S.R.O. specifically targets:
Tier-1 retailers
Large manufacturers and distributors
Businesses registered under sales tax laws
Companies exceeding the threshold defined by FBR regulations
If your business falls in any of these categories, compliance is mandatory.

✅ Automated tax filing and reduced manual errors
