If you live in Larkana and need a National Tax Number, there's a common misconception that you must travel to a regional FBR office to get one. You don't. NTN registration is handled entirely through FBR's national IRIS portal, and NTNWaale completes the whole process for Larkana residents remotely, using nothing more than a WhatsApp chat.
Why Larkana Residents Need an NTN
An NTN is the tax identity FBR assigns you, and it underpins almost every formal financial move you make in Pakistan — filing a return, opening a business account, bidding on a government contract, registering a vehicle, or buying and selling property. Because IRIS is a single national system, someone applying from Larkana goes through the exact same screens and the exact same rules as someone applying from Karachi or Islamabad. There is no separate "Larkana process" and no requirement to appear at a local tax office.
Who Should Register
- Salaried individuals earning above the taxable annual threshold
- Shop owners, traders, and small business operators in Larkana
- Freelancers and remote workers billing clients abroad
- Directors and partners of registered companies or firms
- Anyone buying or selling property or a vehicle who wants the lower filer tax rate
Documents You'll Need
- CNIC (front and back)

- A working email address
- Employer details or business address, if applicable
- For a company: SECP incorporation certificate and CNICs of all directors
How NTNWaale Handles It Remotely
You send scanned or photographed copies of your documents over WhatsApp. NTNWaale enters your details into IRIS, sets up your login credentials, and verifies the registration went through cleanly — typically the same day. There's no printed form to courier, no office queue, and no need to leave Larkana at all. Once your NTN is active, you'll receive your login details and a short explanation of what to do next, including how to stay on the Active Taxpayer List going forward.
