The taxpayers who have filed tax returns after the due date and currently their status is "InActive" in FBR, can pay a surcharge of Rs.1000/- on the FBR website and become "Active". Complete step by step procedure is given below:

First of all, generate the PSID number from the FBR website in the following way:

1. Go to the FBR website
2. Login to your account through CNIC and your password.
3. Click on the "e-Payments" tab then "Create Payment" and then the "IncomeTax" button.
4. In the next window, select tax year 2020. Select "Misc" in the Tax Payment Nature.
5. New proforma fields will be shown. Select "182(A) - Surcharge for ATL" in the Tax Payment Section.
6. Then select "ADC (e-Payment) in Particular of Payment (Mode).
7. After duly filling out all the fields of this form, click "Create" and the "Confirm" buttons.
