Diagnosing why your CNIC or business NTN is off the Active Taxpayer List (ATL) and preparing the exact missing return or surcharge challan guidance to restore active filer status. ATL surcharge challan is paid separately by you.
Who This Service Is For
Taxpayers whose status shows "Inactive" despite filing, or those who filed late and need ATL surcharge challan guidance.
Government & Third-Party Challans
Late-filing ATL surcharge challans (PKR 1,000 for individuals, PKR 10,000 for AOPs, PKR 20,000 for companies) are paid directly by you to FBR via 1Link/ADC.
Interactive Document Checklist
Tick the items you already have on hand. You can still start your case today and upload remaining files later on your private status link.
Once both the required tax return is submitted and the ATL surcharge CPR clears via 1Link, FBR typically updates ATL status within 24 hours.
