Income Tax Return 2026 Pakistan: Salaried, Business aur AOP ke liye Poori Guide
Ab sirf kuch hi din baaki hain — 30 September 2026 income tax return ki last date hai.
Agar aap salaried hain, apna business karte hain, ya kisi AOP (partnership firm) mein shamil hain — ye guide bilkul aapke liye likhi gayi hai. Roman Urdu mein, simple language mein, sab kuch step by step.
Income Tax Return Kya Hota Hai?
Income tax return ek official declaration hai jo aap FBR (Federal Board of Revenue) ko dete hain — jis mein aap batate hain ke Tax Year 2026 mein aapki income kitni thi, kitna tax kata ya ada hua, aur aapke assets aur liabilities kya hain.
Ek bahut zaroori baat jo bahut log nahi jaante:
Agar aapke employer ne salary se poora tax kaat liya hai — tab bhi aapko income tax return FILE karni hoti hai. Tax deduction aur return filing do alag cheezein hain.
Jo log sirf employer ke tax deduction pe rely karte hain aur return file nahi karte — wo Active Taxpayer List (ATL) se nikal jaate hain. Aur ATL se naam nikal jaana matlab har jagah nuksaan.

Tax Year 2026 cover karta hai: 1 July 2025 se 30 June 2026 tak ki income.
Kyun 30 September se PEHLE file karein?
September ke last week mein FBR ka IRIS portal bohot slow ho jaata hai — hazaaron log ek saath file karne ki koshish karte hain. Errors zyada hote hain, server down hota hai. August ya September ke pehle hafte mein file karna sab se safe hai.
Kaun Kaun File Karta Hai?
FBR ke mutabiq, ye log return file karne ke LEGALLY OBLIGATED hain:
Salaried individuals:
Annual salary Rs. 600,000 se zyada ho
Ya NTN already registered ho
Business individuals / self-employed:
Koi bhi business income ho — dukaan, practice, contracting, freelancing
Rs. 400,000 se zyada annual business income
AOP (Association of Persons / Partnership):
Koi bhi registered ya unregistered partnership firm
Teeno partners individually bhi file karenge
Others (ye bhi file karte hain):
Property owner (500 sq. yards se zyada)
Car owner (1000cc ya zyada)
Rs. 500,000 se zyada commercial bijli bill
Salaried Person ke liye Income Tax Return
Required documents:
CNIC (IRIS login ke liye)
Salary certificate (employer se — poore Tax Year 2026 ka)
Bank statements (all accounts — July 2025 to June 2026)
Employer ka NTN number
Withholding tax deduction certificate (Form 16 — employer se milta hai)
Property / vehicle details (wealth statement ke liye)
Investment details (mutual funds, shares, etc.)
IRIS mein form: Salaried persons ke liye Form 114(I) use hota hai — IRIS automatically salary slabs apply karta hai.
Tax Year 2026 ke salaried tax slabs:
Annual IncomeTax RateRs. 600,000 tak0% — exemptRs. 600,001 – Rs. 1,200,0005%Rs. 1,200,001 – Rs. 2,200,00015%Rs. 2,200,001 – Rs. 3,200,00025%Rs. 3,200,001 – Rs. 4,100,00030%Rs. 4,100,001 se zyada35%
Common galti — ye mat karo: Return sirf income section fill karna kaafi nahi — Wealth Statement bhi submit karni hoti hai (aapke assets aur liabilities). Wealth Statement bina incomplete return hoti hai.
Business Individual ke liye Income Tax Return
Business individual woh hota hai jis ki income salary se nahi — apne business, profession, ya self-employment se aati hai: doctors, lawyers, architects, shopkeepers, contractors, freelancers, etc.
Required documents:
CNIC aur NTN
Business income aur expense statement
Bank statements (business + personal — sab)
Sales tax records (agar STRN registered hain)
Business assets ki details
Property, vehicle, investments (wealth statement ke liye)
Cash in hand at year-end
Business income ke liye: IRIS mein income aur expenses alag alag declare karne hoti hain. Net business income pe tax lagta hai, gross pe nahi.
Ek zaroori tip: Freelancers jo Upwork, Fiverr, ya international clients se kaam karte hain — unki income bhi taxable hai. Foreign remittances properly declare karni hoti hain. Agar FBR ko discrepancy mile to notice aa sakta hai.
AOP (Partnership Firm) ke liye Income Tax Return
AOP matlab Association of Persons — do ya zyada log mil ke jo business karte hain, chahe registered ho ya unregistered.
AOP ke liye kya kya:
AOP ki apni alag return hoti hai (partners ki individual return alag)
AOP ka NTN alag hoga
AOP ki income distribute hoti hai — partners apni individual returns mein apni share declare karte hain
AOP ki ATL status alag, partners ki alag — dono maintain karne hote hain
ATL surcharge for AOP (agar late file ki): Rs. 50,000 — individual se double. Is liye AOP filing aur bhi urgent hai.
Penalty — Agar 30 September Miss Ho Gayi
Ye numbers carefully padh lo:
Penalty TypeAmountLate filing penaltyRs. 40,000 ya 0.1% of tax payable per month (jo zyada ho)ATL restoration surcharge (individual)Rs. 25,000ATL restoration surcharge (AOP)Rs. 50,000ATL restoration surcharge (company)Rs. 100,000
ATL se naam nikal jaane ka asar:
TransactionFiler rateNon-Filer rateBank profit (Rs. 5 lakh+)15%30%Property khareedna3%10.5%Cash withdrawalStandard0.6% extraDividend income15%30%
Sirf ek property transaction pe savings jo hoti hain filer hone se — wo Rs. 25,000 surcharge se kahin zyada hoti hain.
IRIS Portal Pe Return Kaise File Karein
Step 1: IRIS mein login karein iris.fbr.gov.pk pe jaayein. CNIC (dashes ke bina) aur password se login karein. Pehli baar? Registration karein — OTP CNIC-registered number pe aayega.
Step 2: Return form kholi "Declaration" → "114(I)" (salaried ke liye) ya business form select karein. Tax Year 2026 select karein.
Step 3: Income fill karein
