FBR Digital Invoice Software for Tier-1 Retailers in Pakistan
Every sale goes to FBR the moment you bill it. PaakiShop stores the FBR fiscal invoice number and prints the invoice in the standard SRO 1006(I)/2021 format — with the FBR PoS logo, a scannable QR code and the Tax Asaan verification line.

The FBR PoS invoicing logo printed on every invoice, as SRO 1006 requires.
What is an FBR digital invoice?
FBR wants sale invoices reported when the sale happens, not at month end. Under the fiscalization scheme, Tier-1 retailers must integrate their POS with the FBR system and submit each sale invoice in real time. FBR signs and saves the invoice and gives back a unique fiscal invoice number.
That number goes on the customer's receipt, together with the FBR PoS logo and a QR code. The buyer can then check the invoice through the FBR Tax Asaan mobile app or by SMS to 9966. An invoice that cannot be verified is a problem for you, not for the customer.
PaakiShop does the reporting inside the normal billing screen, so the cashier does not learn a second system.
Real-time reporting
Each sale is sent to FBR at billing time.
Fiscal invoice number
Unique number from FBR, saved with the invoice.
QR on the receipt
Scannable QR made from the fiscal number.
Buyer verification
Tax Asaan app or SMS 9966.
From the counter to FBR and back in seconds
Register & configure
You get your PoS ID from FBR. We help you enter it in PaakiShop, install FBR's small local service on the counter PC and run the first test on the FBR sandbox.
Bill as usual
Sell from POS or the invoice screen as always. One button sends the saved invoice to FBR. If FBR cannot be reached the sale is never blocked — it is marked pending and can be resent.
Print & track
The receipt prints with the FBR number, QR and logo. A register lists fiscalised, pending and failed invoices, filterable by date and exportable to CSV.

The layout follows the standardized invoice format FBR notified in SRO 1006(I)/2021. Every field FBR asks for is on the receipt. The business, numbers and QR below are sample data.

FBR digital invoice — FAQ
What is an FBR digital invoice?
It is a sale invoice that your POS sends to the Federal Board of Revenue at the time of sale. FBR returns a unique fiscal invoice number, and your printed invoice carries that number, the FBR PoS logo and a QR code so any buyer can verify it.
Who has to integrate their POS with FBR?
FBR requires Tier-1 retailers to integrate their point-of-sale system with the FBR system and submit sale invoices in real time. Check with your tax consultant or FBR whether your business falls in Tier-1.
What must an FBR invoice show?
Under SRO 1006(I)/2021: business name, address, STRN and NTN, tax office, PoS registration number, unique invoice number, date and time, payment mode, item-wise price and tax rate, quantity and tax, totals, discount, the Re.1 PoS service fee, payable and received amounts, the FBR fiscal invoice number, the FBR PoS logo, a verifiable QR code and the Tax Asaan / SMS 9966 verification statement.
What is the Re.1 PoS service fee?
SRO 1006(I)/2021 lists a PoS service fee of Re.1 per invoice as a required line on the FBR invoice. PaakiShop prints it on every FBR invoice.
How can a customer verify an FBR invoice?
The invoice carries a statement inviting the buyer to verify it through the FBR Tax Asaan mobile app or by SMS to 9966. The QR code on the invoice is generated from the FBR fiscal invoice number.
Is PaakiShop approved by FBR?
PaakiShop integrates with FBR's fiscalization service and has been tested against the FBR sandbox. Registering your business and getting your PoS ID is done by you with FBR; we help you configure it and test before you go live.
What happens if the internet or the FBR service is down?
The sale is never blocked. The invoice is saved and accounted normally, it is marked as not yet fiscalised with the reason, and you can send it to FBR again when the connection is back.
Can I test before going live?
Yes. FBR provides a sandbox environment. Invoices sent there carry a test marker in PaakiShop so they are never confused with real fiscal invoices.
