The Sindh Revenue Board has conducted its fourth computerised prize draw for verified POS invoices, offering 95 prizes to customers.
KARACHI: The Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) held its fourth computerised prize ballot draw for verified point-of-sale (POS) invoices on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, offering 95 prizes to customers who verified their invoices through the SRB system.
The draw was attended by tax consultants, advisers and representatives of the press and media. SRB Chairman Dr Wasif Ali Memon presided over the ceremony, where officials also gave a detailed presentation on the prize scheme and measures adopted to ensure transparency in the ballot process.
The prizes included two cars — one 1600cc and another 1300cc — as well as motorcycles, televisions, refrigerators, tablets, mobile phones, smart watches and cash prizes.
More than 217,000 invoices entered into fourth draw
According to the SRB, a total of 217,525 verified invoices were entered into the fourth computerised draw.
The invoices covered the period from April 8, 2026, to September 21, 2026.
The number of invoices included in the latest draw was significantly higher than in the previous three rounds. The first draw included 3,260 verified invoices, followed by 8,734 in the second draw and 90,937 in the third draw.
The sharp rise in verified invoices indicates increased participation in the SRB’s POS invoice verification and incentive scheme.
SRB encourages real-time invoice verification
The SRB introduced the prize scheme by integrating the POS invoicing systems of businesses providing retail services with its computerised system.
The initiative covers businesses including restaurants, beauty parlours and gyms, allowing invoices to be reported to the SRB in real time.
Customers can verify the authenticity of their invoices by scanning the QR code or entering the SRB invoice number through the eSRB app or the SRB website.
Once an invoice has been successfully verified through the SRB system, it is automatically entered into the computerised prize ballot.
Prize scheme aims to improve tax compliance
The SRB said the POS system and its incentive-based prize scheme were expected to encourage customers to demand POS-integrated invoices when obtaining taxable retail services.
Customers are also encouraged to verify the authenticity of their invoices according to the prescribed procedure.
According to the SRB, the mechanism will help customers verify the amount of tax paid in a more transparent manner while encouraging businesses and consumers to participate in the formal tax system.
The revenue authority said the initiative would contribute to improving tax compliance and promoting a stronger tax culture in Sindh.
The fourth draw forms part of the SRB’s broader effort to use digital invoicing, real-time reporting and customer participation to strengthen transparency in the collection and verification of Sindh sales tax on services.
