FBR sets deadline for textile unit surveillance camera installation
Business Recorder • • 1 min read
The Federal Board of Revenue has ordered registered textile spinning units to install video surveillance cameras at specified production points by November 15, 2026. Business Recorder reported that Sales Tax General Order No. 30 of 2026 extends monitoring beyond cotton bales to loose, opened and other non-bale forms of natural, man-made and blended fibres.
The cameras are required on equipment and lines used for opening, feeding and blending fibre, including processes involving polyester, viscose, wool and acrylic. FBR also directed approved vendors to integrate the cameras with video analytics that can record production in real time, count and quantify material, transmit data to its Central Control Unit, detect unexpected stoppages and store records. The earlier Sales Tax General Order No. 08 of 2025 remains in force.
