    PKR recovers against dollar in interbank

    KARACHI: The  Pak Rupee (PKR) made a recovery of seven paisas against the dollar on Friday. The interbank foreign exchange marke ended at Rs166.91 to the dollar from the previous day’s closing of Rs166.98.

    The dollar made a sharp gain early in the day and reached Rs167.20. However, the supply of the greenback during the day helped the rupee to make gains.

    The market witnessed the supply of the dollars in the shape of workers’ remittances and export receipts.

    Currency experts said that the dollar demand remained high during the day because of the last trading day of the week. However, the supply of the dollar supported the rupee.

  • Interbank dollar reaches Rs167.20 in early trade

    Interbank dollar reaches Rs167.20 in early trade

    KARACHI: The US dollar reached Rs167.20 during early day trading on Friday. The greenback further gained 22 paisas against the Pak Rupee (PKR) in the early trade. The foreign currency was ended last day at Rs166.98 in the interbank foreign exchange market.

    The dollar made gains for the last four consecutive days against the PKR during this week. The higher import payment demand on the last trading day kept the pressure on the local currency.

    Currency experts said that dollar demand for external payments remained high. They said that the rising deficit in trade and the current account is also a major concern for the market.

    They said that the country needed an immediate flow of the foreign currency to discharge external payment liabilities without pressure on the exchange rate.

    The local unit lost Rs1.63 against the dollar during the past four trading days. The exchange rate was closed at Rs165.62 on August 27, 2021.

  • SECP warns against investing in fraudulent schemes

    SECP warns against investing in fraudulent schemes

    ISLAMABAD: The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) on Thursday warned the general public against investing in any fraudulent investment schemes, which promise hefty profits and unrealistic incentives.

    The SECP has been constantly clarifying that mere registration of a company, does not authorize it to solicit deposits from the general public or offer investment schemes.

    It has been observed recently that a company namely “Econex Sales and Marketing (Private) Limited” is offering various packages to attract the public to its unlawful business activities of multi-level marketing (MLM) and referral marketing.

    The said company is using its registration status with SECP to win public confidence, deceptively implying that such activities are being undertaken through SECP’s regulated platform.

    As clearly provided in the explanation of section 301 of the Companies Act, 2017, raising unauthorized deposits from the general public, indulging in referral marketing, MLM, Pyramid, and Ponzi Schemes are unlawful activities in terms of explanation of section 301 of the Companies Act, 2017.

    The SECP, in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, has initiated necessary legal action against M/s Econex Sales and Marketing (Private) Limited.

    In view of the foregoing, the general public is hereby expressly advised in their own interest to be careful, not to invest their hard-earned money or indulge in illegal schemes launched by this company, actively being propagated through social media accounts and pages.

    The same caution may be exercised in the case of any other company involved in any illegal deposit-taking, unauthorized investment, or MLM schemes.

    FTO declares Car Amnesty Scheme illegal

    ISLAMABAD: Federal Tax Ombudsman (FTO) has declared an amnesty scheme for customs clearance of stolen imported cars without legal action.

    Customs authorities’ decision about clearance of stolen imported cars under Transfer of Residence, Baggage Scheme or Gift Scheme upon payment of redemption fine and taxes without following any legal provision has been decleared illegal by the Federal Tax Ombudsman.

    In an own motion investigation, the FTO Islamabad found that the decision taken in Customs conference held at the then CBR (FBR) on 02.08.2006 was illegal.

    The FTO’s investigation committee also underlined that without following due legal procedures such decisions will promote illegal import of stolen vehicles and facilitate international criminal activities.

    In this connection, FTO issued notices to Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). The FBR submitted report that Customs collectorates in Sialkot and Peshawar had cleared six and three such stolen imported vehicles in 2007 and 2013-2014 respectively.

    The FTO also recommended FBR to direct all Collectorates of Customs and other concerned authorities to stop these illegal practices forthwith.

    The Customs authorities were also directed that the stolen imported vehicles either should have been returned to authorities of the country from where vehicles were stolen after receiving occurring expenses or these vehicles should have been confiscated and disposed of through public auction.

    The committee also recommended FBR to direct MCC Sialkot to seize identified six vehicles and take appropriate legal action against importers involved in such illegal businesses.

    The FTO ordered a report from the competent authorities to be submitted within 45 days.
