The Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) has called on Pakistan's Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to extend the deadline for filing income tax returns, citing technical glitches and slowdowns on the online IRIS portal, according to a report from the Associated Press of Pakistan.
RCCI President Usman Shaukat said in a statement that high traffic volume on the portal had contributed to the system problems, according to the report.
The report did not specify the current filing deadline, how long the technical issues have persisted, or whether the FBR has responded to the chamber's request.
