In a major development, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has seized a large tract of land belonging to Bahria Town Pvt. Ltd. in Rawalpindi over an outstanding tax liability of Rs. 26.46 billion. The property, situated in Mouza Kathar Sharqi on Angori Road, was officially attached under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 and Income Tax Rules 2002 on September 22, 2025.
According to official documents, the land was confiscated after Bahria Town allegedly failed to clear its long-pending income tax dues. The FBR’s enforcement wing took swift action following repeated reminders and notices that went unanswered.
Authorities have also issued a strict public warning, prohibiting any kind of sale, lease, or transfer of the seized property without prior written approval from the Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue. Any attempt to engage in such transactions will be treated as invalid and may lead to legal penalties.
The action is part of FBR’s broader campaign to recover unpaid taxes from major developers and corporations, signaling a tougher stance on tax evasion. Officials emphasized that no entity, regardless of its size or influence, will be exempt from accountability.
This marks one of the largest property seizures in recent years, highlighting FBR’s renewed efforts to strengthen compliance and boost national revenue.
