سینیٹ کمیٹی نے ایف آئی اے کے ٹیکس تحقیقات پر سوال اٹھائے، قبائلی علاقوں میں سالانہ 1 ارب ڈالر نقصان کا انکشاف

The Senate Standing Committee on Interior questioned the FIA's independent tax probes, directing FBR and FIA to synchronize operations to avoid jurisdictional overlap. The panel raised alarm over an estimated $1 billion annual loss from tax evasion and smuggling in tax-exempt tribal areas, citing Rs1,120bn evasion by factories. Lawmakers criticized agencies for targeting low-ranking officials while powerful factory owners remained untouched. Improved tax collection and reduced illicit trade could strengthen Pakistan's fiscal position, potentially offering long-term support for the Pakistani Rupee.
