Similarly, in Mardan, a targeted operation led by Excise and Taxation Officer Mohammad Khalid Khan resulted in the sealing of several property units. The operation saw a recovery of over Rs—2.1 million, which was promptly deposited into the government treasury.
In Mansehra, properties were sealed for non-payment of the UIP tax, while in Peshawar’s Karkhano Market, multiple property units were sealed as part of the department’s continued efforts to enforce tax compliance.
The Excise Department has made it clear that this campaign will continue without discrimination, with a firm commitment to enforcing tax laws. Property owners have been urged to pay their outstanding taxes on time to avoid legal action and further complications.
