Karachi, May 14, 2025 – The Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) has successfully conducted its inaugural computerized prize ballot draw, celebrating customers who actively verified their invoices from businesses integrated with Point of Sale (POS) systems.
This landmark event, held at the SRB headquarters on Tuesday, marks a significant step towards enhancing transparency and encouraging responsible tax behavior across Sindh.
A total of 105 fortunate individuals were selected through a sophisticated automated ballot system during the draw. These winners will be rewarded with a variety of prizes, including 67 cash awards, simply for taking the proactive step of verifying the authenticity of their service receipts via official SRB channels.
This customer-centric prize scheme is a key component of the SRB’s ongoing efforts to seamlessly integrate POS invoicing systems within various service sectors, including popular restaurants, esteemed beauty parlors, and well-frequented gyms, directly with the board’s advanced computerized network. This crucial integration facilitates real-time reporting of all transactions, empowering consumers to effortlessly verify the legitimacy of their invoices. Customers can easily confirm their invoice authenticity by conveniently scanning QR codes or meticulously checking SRB invoice numbers through the user-friendly “eSRB” mobile application or the official SRB website.
“This innovative system achieves two vital objectives,” stated a representative from the SRB. “Firstly, it ensures unparalleled transparency in tax collection processes. Secondly, it provides invaluable peace of mind to diligent customers, assuring them that their hard-earned tax contributions genuinely reach government coffers.”
The SRB’s proactive initiative has garnered enthusiastic participation from service recipients across the province. This positive response underscores the public’s willingness to engage with measures designed to combat potential tax evasion while simultaneously incentivizing them to actively demand properly documented transactions utilizing POS systems.
Following the resounding success of this first prize draw, SRB officials have expressed strong confidence that an increasing number of customers will be motivated to request invoices generated from POS-integrated businesses and diligently verify them through the designated official channels. The board firmly believes that this customer-driven approach will play a pivotal role in significantly enhancing revenue collection transparency and fostering greater public trust in the overall taxation system.
Prior to the draw, the POS integration scheme was extensively promoted through widespread public awareness campaigns across Sindh province. This proactive communication strategy effectively generated substantial awareness and encouraged widespread participation in the initiative, highlighting the benefits of engaging with businesses utilizing compliant POS systems. The SRB looks forward to continuing this engagement and further promoting the importance of verifying invoices from POS-enabled establishments.
