Islamabad, June 19, 2025: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Chairman Rashid Langrial on Wednesday openly revealed the names of sugar mills allegedly involved in tax evasion during a session of the National Assembly’s Finance and Revenue Committee.
Langrial outlined enforcement actions taken against these mills after discovering concealed production units, absent surveillance mechanisms, and unauthorized sugar dispatches.
Sarkand Sugar Mill was caught operating a secret chute used to divert sugar output while evading official oversight. Officials sealed the chute and seized 1,200 metric tons of undeclared sugar, the FBR chief stated.
Chamber Sugar Mill reportedly had its production units detached from the digital tracking network. In response, the FBR confiscated 150 metric tons of unaccounted sugar and impounded five transport vehicles.
Digri Sugar Mill was fully sealed after failing to hand over its video surveillance system — a crucial component of compliance under the FBR’s inspection regime.
