FBR Resolves Major Bug in Tax Return Filing System for Salaried Class

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has resolved a major issue in the income tax return filing system for the salaried class by removing the condition of submitting the “correct receipt value” from the return. Taxpayers had been receiving error messages on the “IRIS portal” stating, “Please enter correct receipt value,” which could not be rectified despite repeated attempts by tax experts and lawyers. The matter was also taken up by the Federal Tax Ombudsman (FTO). The FBR has now removed the bug, making it easier for taxpayers to file their income tax returns before the September 30, 2025, deadline. The condition was initially introduced to verify data, but ended up causing significant problems for taxpayers attempting to file their returns.
