Islamabad, Dec 26: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has implemented a revised password policy aimed at bolstering the security of user credentials. As part of the new guidelines, users will now need to update their passwords every 60 days to ensure robust security measures. After this period, passwords will automatically expire, requiring users to reset them through the “forgot password” feature. To enhance the recovery process and authentication, users must provide a mobile contact number and email address during registration.
While the new recovery process strengthens security, it may pose challenges for users who lack access to their registered email or mobile number, adding a layer of complexity in case login details are forgotten.
In addition to this, the FBR has introduced an advanced Stock Register system on its Information Center 2.0 platform. This system allows tax officers real-time access to granular data on registered entities, fostering transparency.
