Islamabad, June 19, 2025: Pakistanis may soon face a new requirement before buying property or cars. The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is planning to add a special ‘Certificate of Eligibility’ section on its IRIS tax platform. This comes from a new tax rule suggested in the upcoming Finance Bill 2025.
This proposed change to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, in Section 114C, clearly explains who will be considered an “eligible person” to buy vehicles and property. Simply put, if this new rule is approved, every taxpayer will need to get this special certificate before making any such major purchase.

Surprisingly, even though the change has yet to be approved, the Certificate of Eligibility portal is already available on the FBR website.
To use it, people need to enter their CNIC (ID card number), the NTN (tax number) of the seller (like a car dealer or property authority), and the value of what they are buying.
After submitting, users will get a one-time password (OTP) on their mobile phone to create their certificate.
As mentioned, this FBR certificate rule is still just a proposal and has not been approved. However, if it gets the green light, buyers will have to show this Certificate of Eligibility before completing any purchase of a vehicle or property.
