Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday appreciated the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) for achieving its seven-month targets and said a new IT-enabled system would add "hundreds of billions of additional revenue".
The premier added that the revenue board had achieved its targets by undertaking a "bold tax audit and enforcement" couple with strong counter-smuggling measures.
I commend FBR Field Formations on achieving 7-months revenue targets by undertaking bold tax audit and enforcement, and counter-smuggling measures. They must continue working with honesty and commitment.

For the IT-enabled Track and Trace system, Imran said the system would become operational by July of this year and it would also help to curb counterfeiting and "establish the rule of law".
Also commend FBR Headoffice Team for developing the IT-enabled Transformation Plan & procuring cutting-edge Track & Trace System. Once fully functional in July 2021, it would add 100s of billions of additional revenue, curb counterfeiting and help establish rule of law.

He had further said that the industrial sector is witnessing significant growth.

This is typical of prime minister Imran Khan. We will do this and do that counting the chickens before they are hatched. Once he said that We will strike the biggest oil field in Asia at Arabian Sea and within a few days the exploration was called off as it turned out dry and Pakistan became a laughingstock of the world. Please talk less.
