E-invoicing, digital invoice, and IRIS

FBR digital invoicing under SRO 709

Under SRO 709(I)/2025 and the Sales Tax Act 1990, sales-tax-registered businesses in Pakistan must send their sales tax invoices to FBR electronically, in real time. That applies to corporate and non-corporate registered persons alike, which is why so many finance teams are moving off manual entry and onto integrated digital invoicing.

IRIS and PRAL integration

Invoices reach FBR through the Digital Invoicing API operated by PRAL. After you complete digital invoicing setup in the IRIS portal — including the licensed integrator route FBR requires for your taxpayer category (often PRAL in IRIS) — you generate a bearer token for your NTN and connect it in GetFBR to validate, submit, and store IRN/QR data without building your own API client. FBR’s FAQ notes that PRAL may provide integration services under prescribed rules, often without an integration fee from PRAL; you still complete IRIS registration and scenario testing. A token alone does not replace integrator obligations. See how FBR digital invoicing integration works →

Debit notes, import, and automation

After FBR assigns an IRN you cannot edit the live invoice — issue a linked debit or credit note instead. Finance teams use bulk CSV import, recurring schedules, REST API keys, and webhooks to stay compliant without replacing an existing ERP or POS. Full feature checklist →

IRN, USIN and verifiable QR codes

Every accepted invoice comes back with an IRN (Invoice Registration Number), a USIN, and a QR code your buyer can scan to verify it. All three are printed on the branded invoice PDFs automatically, so what you hand a customer is already compliant.

Test in sandbox, then go live

Work through the FBR invoice scenarios that apply to your business in the sandbox environment, confirm each returns a valid response, then switch to your production token when you are ready. Finance teams use Integron Technologies — FBR Digital Invoicing to reduce rework, keep invoice data consistent, and submit with more confidence. Start with a free trial, connect your FBR token, and validate your first invoice in minutes.

Benefits FBR describes for digital invoicing

FBR’s Digital Invoicing materials cite real-time submission, fewer manual errors, smoother ERP integration, and auto-population of invoice data into Annexure C and sales tax return workflows on FBR’s side. FBR Digital Invoicing handles validate-and-submit to PRAL and audit-ready records in your account — confirm return and annexure details on current IRIS screens.
