Karachi, October 7, 2025 – The University of Karachi hosted an informative seminar titled “Impacts of Income Tax Filing and Amendments in Pension Rules” at the Karachi University Business School Auditorium on Tuesday.

The event was jointly organized by the Karachi University Teachers’ Society (KUTS) and the Karachi University Officers Welfare Association (KUOWA).

During his detailed presentation, Ghori outlined the step-by-step process for filing, required documentation, and the use of the government’s online tax portal. He emphasized that timely filing helps strengthen the national economy and ensures transparency.

Earlier in the seminar, Amanullah Khan Madsar from the Pension Section of Karachi University discussed recent amendments in pension rules. He elaborated on how these updates might affect government employees, particularly those serving in educational institutions.

Dr. Mohsin Ali, President of KUTS, appreciated the collaborative effort, saying such initiatives are vital for spreading financial awareness and helping staff understand policy changes. He stressed that regular educational events allow employees to stay informed about evolving financial laws.

Dr. Syed Faisal Hashmi, President of KUOWA, also commended the participation of faculty and officers. He reaffirmed the Association’s commitment to organizing more informative programs at Karachi University in the future to promote awareness and understanding of official procedures.

The session concluded with an engaging Q&A segment where speakers addressed participants’ queries. Attendees expressed gratitude to the organizers and suggested that similar awareness sessions continue regularly to benefit the wider university community in Karachi.
