FBR issues this to both salaried individuals and business individuals. Furthermore, after registering for NTN, the taxpayer may add Sole proprietor business in the FBR profile separately.
  2. Association of Persons (AOP) / Partnership: This kind of online NTN is provided to the affiliation of individuals. The affiliation of individuals is the partnership between partners of at least two. You can check it by online NTN Inquiry.
  3. Company’s NTN: This type of online NTN is issued to the company. You can check Company NTN on the FBR portal by entering Incorporation/Company Registration No issued by SECP at the time of company registration.

NTN holders have the main duty to file their annual income tax returns within the due dates with the Federal Board of Revenue. The last date of return filing for individuals having NTN is 30th September of every year, and in the case of companies, it is the end of September and December, depending on the year-end of the company.

In conclusion, checking online NTN verification by CNIC is a simple and convenient process for taxpayers in Pakistan. FBR’s online portal provides all the necessary details of taxpayers, making it easier for them to file their returns on time. Keep your NTN number and CNIC number safe to avoid any inconvenience in the future.
