The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has decided to establish Digital Enforcement Stations across the country as part of a major initiative to curb smuggling and illegal trade.

According to official sources, the proposed Digital Enforcement Stations will be empowered with full authority to prevent unlawful commercial activities. Individuals found involved in smuggling and illegal trade will be apprehended under the new mechanism.
Sources disclosed that the FBR has sought an allocation of Rs10 billion for the establishment of these stations. The initiative aims to strengthen enforcement through the use of modern technology and is expected to play a significant role in controlling smuggling networks. Existing check posts will also be upgraded and converted into digital enforcement stations.
To ensure effective operations, new rules and standard operating procedures will be introduced, along with advanced technological systems for monitoring and enforcement. The FBR also plans to hire retired officers and soldiers from the armed forces on a contractual basis to address staffing shortages at the new stations.
Officials believe the move will enhance border and inland enforcement capabilities, improve revenue collection, and reduce losses caused by illegal trade.
