Why It Matters
The Penalty for Non-Compliance in Pakistan Hits Harder Than Most Business Owners Expect
Most Pakistani companies do not find out they have a compliance problem until a notice arrives. By then, the statutory filing deadlines in Pakistan 2026 have passed, the surcharges have started accumulating, and the regulatory compliance risks have already turned into real financial damage. The Companies Act 2017, Income Tax Ordinance 2001, Sales Tax Act 1990, and four separate labour laws all run on different schedules, require different documents required for company compliance, and answer to different authorities.
For growing businesses, the gap between what needs to happen and what actually gets done widens quickly. Payroll compliance requirements in Pakistan, EOBI and social security compliance, half-yearly labour returns, monthly FBR filings, none of this wait for your team to have capacity. Missed once, they compound fast.
What the Statutory Compliance Process in Pakistan Actually Demands
The statutory compliance process in Pakistan is not a single task. It is a continuous cycle of filings, payments, registrations, and statutory reporting obligations spread across at least five regulatory bodies, running simultaneously, every single month.
Regulatory Compliance Risks in Pakistan

| FBR - Sales Tax | High |
| EOBI - Pension Contributions | Medium |
| PESSI / SESSI - Social Security | Medium |
| Labour Dept - Establishment Returns | Medium |

⚠️ Penalty for Non-Compliance in Pakistan

6 Compliance Pillars
Six Areas. Forty Deadlines. One Team That Handles All of It.
Our compliance services cover every corporate compliance requirement your business carries in Pakistan. From SECP compliance filing requirements to tax and labor law compliance in Pakistan, everything is managed under one structured compliance management system with clear accountability.
Corporate Compliance - SECP
SECP imposes strict company law compliance obligations on every registered private and public company in Pakistan. We manage your full SECP compliance filing requirements including annual returns (Form A and B), audited financial statements, director change notifications, registered office updates, and all company secretarial work through the eservices portal.
Annual Return
Statutory Audit
Auditor Appointment
Tax Compliance - FBR
Tax compliance in Pakistan runs on monthly and quarterly deadlines that do not stop. We handle your complete FBR calendar including monthly withholding tax statements under Section 165, quarterly advance tax chalans under Section 147, annual income tax return preparation, and full IRIS portal management with notice response included.
Sales Tax Return
WHT Filing
Income Tax Return
Sales Tax Registration Compliance - FBR / PRA
Sales tax registration compliance in Pakistan covers far more than submitting a monthly return. We manage your STRN account on IRIS, file monthly FBR sales tax returns with Annexure C and H reconciliation, handle PRA and SRB registrations for service providers, and ensure nil returns are filed on time every month without exception.
EOBI Registration
Monthly Contributions
Employee Social Security - PESSI / SESSI
EOBI and social security compliance sits inside your payroll compliance requirements in Pakistan and cannot be separated from how you manage your workforce. We register your establishment and all eligible employees with PESSI or SESSI, file monthly contribution statements, coordinate medical card issuance, and keep all records current for inspection at any time.
Minimum Wage
Gratuity
Employment Contracts
Pension Contributions - EOBI
Every employer with five or more employees in Pakistan must contribute to EOBI monthly. We register your business and employees, generate and submit Challan Form 8 every month, maintain your full contribution register, and prepare your records for EOBI surprise inspections so your business is never caught unprepared.
PESSI Registration
Monthly Deposits
Labour Law Compliance - Dept. of Labour
Tax and labour law compliance in Pakistan together form the foundation of what it means to run a legally sound business. We manage your establishment registration under the Factories Act, prepare and submit half-yearly labour returns, maintain your statutory wages register, and ensure full readiness for Labour Department inspection visits.
IFRS Accounts
SECP Submission
Obligation Deep Dives
Pakistan Statutory Compliance Body by Body
SECP sits at the top of every corporate compliance requirement in Pakistan. From the day your company is incorporated, a recurring calendar of filings, appointments, and disclosures begins. Most businesses do not realise how many obligations are running simultaneously until a notice arrives. PFOC manages the full SECP compliance cycle on your behalf so your corporate record stays clean and your directors stay protected.
Auditor Appointment
Every company must appoint an ICAP-qualified auditor through a board resolution and file the appointment with SECP. Failure to do so within the required period attracts a PKR 10,000 penalty per officer per day of default.
Annual Return - Form A
Every company must appoint an ICAP-qualified auditor through a board resolution and file the appointment with SECP. Failure to do so within the required period attracts a PKR 10,000 penalty per officer per day of default.
Annual Return - Form A
Form A must be filed on SECP’s eServices portal every year with current director details, shareholder information, registered office address, and paid-up capital. A single missed deadline starts the daily surcharge clock immediately.
Financial Statements Filing
IFRS-compliant audited accounts along with the auditor’s report must be submitted to SECP within the statutory period. Smaller companies qualifying under the threshold may use the Simplified Reporting Framework (SRF).
📋 SECP Filing Requirements - At a Glance
| Form-A (Annual Return) | Within 45 days of AGM |
| Audited Accounts | Within 30 days of year-end |
| Director Changes (Form 29) | Within 15 days of change |
| Share Transfer / Allotment | Within 30 days |
| AGM Holding Requirement | Within 4 months of year-end |
⚠️ Penalty for SECP Non-Compliance
