block bank account 

The Federal Board of Revenue is responsible for collecting taxes and ensuring that all individuals and businesses follow tax laws If someone fails to pay taxes hides income or does not file returns FBR can take action under the law

Blocking a bank account is usually a last step and only happens after notices are sent and ignored If a taxpayer does not respond to tax demands or avoids communication the FBR can direct banks to freeze accounts to recover pending dues

This is allowed under section 48 of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 It gives FBR power to recover tax by attaching bank accounts movable property or through salary deductions

FBR first issues a notice then a reminder and if there is no cooperation the bank account can be frozen and funds withdrawn for recovery

To avoid such situations it is important to file tax returns on time respond to FBR notices and clear any outstanding dues or appeal legally through proper channels

If your account has been blocked you can contact the concerned tax office show evidence of your case and request unblocking if justified

FBR actions are legal but taxpayers also have rights under the law so both sides must follow proper processhttps://manyviral.com/can-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-pass-the-senate/
