The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has issued notices to the private schools, colleges, and tuition centers in Karachi. As much as 6,324 private educational institutions have been sent notices to get themselves registered with the board.

The FBR has maintained that despite earning huge income, many private institutions have not registered with the board. The board has also obtained information about the boards of secondary and intermediate education.
