In yet another surprising move, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has removed the MIS – Payments Details tab, which previously allowed taxpayers to view data of taxes deducted. This sudden change, on 29th September, has left taxpayers and consultants baffled.
While FBR Maloomat remains active, the abrupt removal of critical features adds to the ongoing confusion. Over the past year, FBR has been introducing updates without proper timing or approvals—be it the fair market value dilemma, issuance of tax forms at the eleventh hour, or silent alterations in return fields.
Tax professionals argue that FBR had a full year since the budget announcement to release stable tax return forms. Yet, last-minute column additions, deletions, and automated updates on the filing deadline create unnecessary havoc.
Recent Update: The Payment Details Tab is now Available again, after 3 hours, due to maintenance by FBR. After the update Payment details only show TY 2025 data by default, for specific year enter value in saech bar.
However FBR updates at such a time, without any prior notification is unacceptable.
It raises a serious question: Is there no accountability for FBR’s experimental approach? Taxpayers deserve clarity and stability, not surprises on crucial dates.
