The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has selected 72,341 income tax returns for audit in the second phase for FY24 through an automated system.
The selection has been made in a fully automated system using the Risk Based Audit Criterion method to speed up revenue collection and ensure transparency in the audit process.
The National Board of Revenue gave this information in a press release on Tuesday (April 28).
The NBR said that earlier, 15,494 returns were selected for audit in the first phase in July 2025 through a random selection method.
In the second phase, a maximum of 200 and a minimum of 20 taxpayers were selected from each tax circle following the risk-based criteria.
The release said that since the entire audit selection process is automated, there is no scope for any manual intervention. As a result, the long-standing transparency expectations of taxpayers and civil society have been fulfilled.
The list of TIN holders selected for audit has been published on the NBR website.
The organization believes that this automated system will ensure transparency and impartiality in the Board of Revenue's operations as well as help in achieving revenue collection targets.
