Frequently asked questions
What files can I upload?
Excel (.xlsx), CSV and Notepad (.txt) files, up to 1 MB.
How should I arrange the numbers?
Put one 13-digit CNIC or one NTN in each row. Other columns, such as a client name, are fine.
Why did my CNICs lose digits?
Excel can turn long numbers into scientific notation. Format the CNIC column as Text or save the file as .xlsx before you upload.
Which lists are checked?
You choose Income Tax, Sales Tax or both. The result shows the status for each list you chose.
What does Active filer mean in the result?
The overall result follows the Income Tax list. If the number is on the Income Tax Active Taxpayer List, it is shown as an active filer.
Is my file stored?
No. The file is read once to look up the numbers. Only the result is sent back to you.
Is there a limit?
Yes, to keep the service available for everyone. Files up to 1 MB are accepted, and fair-use limits apply per visitor. Very large lists may need to be split into several files.
How current is the data?
Our copy of the lists is refreshed every day. The result file shows the date each list was last updated.
Is this official?
The data comes from the lists FBR publishes, but this is our own tool, not an FBR service. Confirm important cases on FBR’s own portal.
Can I check just one number?
Yes. Use the ATL Verification tool for a single CNIC or NTN.
