ایف بی آر چار ماہ کا ہدف 96 ارب روپے سے پورا نہ کر سکا

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) reported a Rs96 billion shortfall against its Rs4.185 trillion revenue target for the first four months (July-October) of FY27, collecting Rs4.089 trillion. This miss was primarily driven by negative growth in income tax collection and marginal customs duty receipts, despite sales tax and Federal Excise Duty exceeding their targets. Overall revenue grew by 6% year-on-year, with October 2026 collections also falling short of their monthly target. Persistent fiscal challenges indicated by revenue shortfalls could exert downward pressure on the Pakistani Rupee, potentially influencing local gold prices.
