Karachi, February 20, 2026 – The National Clearing Company of Pakistan Limited (NCCPL) on Friday announced that February 27, 2026 has been set as the deadline for the payment of Capital Gain Tax (CGT) for transactions carried out during January 2026.
According to the NCCPL, the aggregate amount of CGT arising from the disposal of shares at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) between January 1 and January 31, 2026, will be collected on Friday, February 27, 2026, through the respective settling banks of the Clearing Members (CMs). All clearing members have been advised to ensure that sufficient funds are available in their designated bank accounts to facilitate timely settlement.
The NCCPL further stated that the CGT amount arising from the redemption of units of open-end mutual funds for the same period has also been finalized. Relevant details and transaction-wise reports for both equity and mutual fund transactions have already been uploaded and made accessible through the CGT System.
Clearing members and Asset Management Companies (AMCs) have been directed to carefully verify investor-wise capital gains or losses and the applicable tax amounts using the reports available in the system. In cases of partial or non-collection of CGT, CMs are required to immediately provide the names and Unique Identification Numbers (UINs) of defaulting customers to the NCCPL following the collection date.
The company cautioned that failure to comply with the stipulated procedures may lead to regulatory action in accordance with NCCPL’s rules and regulations. Market participants are urged to complete all verifications and payments within the prescribed timeframe to avoid penalties and ensure smooth settlement operations.
