The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has decided to introduce online monitoring of business activities across the country, mandating the installation of the point of sale (POS) system in more than 14 sectors, according to an official notification. The directive was issued to hotels, restaurants, guest houses, marriage halls, marquees and race clubs to integrate with the POS system. However, facilities without air-conditioning will be exempted from the requirement. Healthcare-related services — including dentists, physiotherapists, plastic and hair transplant surgeons, veterinary doctors, medical laboratories and X-ray, CT and MRI scan centres — have likewise been brought under the new regime.
