FBR Proposes 90% Tax On Mobile Recharges For Non-Filers

May 14, 2024

In an effort to increase tax revenues and ensure everyone contributes their fair share, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has proposed a bold move targeting those who haven’t been filing their taxes.

A Bold Step Toward Tax Compliance

Under this new plan, the FBR wants to raise the withholding tax significantly, jumping from a small 2.5 per cent to a whopping 90 per cent for those who haven’t been following the rules.

Let’s say someone who hasn’t been filing their taxes decides to top up their mobile phone with Rs100. Instead of the usual Rs2.5 deduction, a whopping Rs90 will be taken and given to the tax authority. The FBR recently put out lists identifying over 500,000 people who haven’t been filing their taxes. They’ve asked the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and telecom companies to block their SIM cards. So far, they’ve already blocked around 11,500 SIM cards, and more blocks are expected soon.

Blocking SIM Cards

Telecom companies have been given until May 15 to block SIM cards of all the non-filers identified. This move comes after the FBR found millions of potential taxpayers who haven’t been meeting their tax obligations. Out of these, over half a million people were picked out for SIM card blocking based on factors like past income declarations and not filing taxes for 2023.

Targeting Potential Taxpayers

The Express Tribune previously reported that if the SIMs of non-filers aren’t blocked by May 15, the FBR might take legal action against the telecom companies. Sources say the FBR plans to discuss this matter further and may even take the telecom companies to court if they don’t comply with the Income Tax General Order (ITGO).

Initially, the telecom companies pushed back against the idea, arguing they were supposed to provide uninterrupted service to their customers unless specified otherwise in the law. However, They’ve changed their tune after talks with the FBR. So, with this new proposal, the FBR aims to ensure everyone chips in for the nation’s development, making sure tax obligations aren’t ignored.

“No Plans to Compete with Google Search”, Says OpenAI CEO

May 14, 2024

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently took to social media to address rumors about a potential competitor to Google Search. Speculation had been rampant about OpenAI’s supposed plans to challenge Google’s dominance in the search engine field. However, Altman swiftly denied these rumors, clarifying that the upcoming announcement was neither about the much-anticipated GPT-5 nor a Google Search rival.

Announcement Teased

Altman’s message, shared on X (formerly Twitter), emphasized that the impending revelation, scheduled for Monday at 10:00 AM PT (10:30 PM IST), pertained to a different project altogether. While he remained tight-lipped about specifics, Altman expressed confidence that users would be impressed, teasing that the upcoming initiative “feels like magic.”

Coinciding with Altman’s statement, the official OpenAI account announced a live stream set for the same time as the CEO’s announcement. This stream would focus on updates for ChatGPT and GPT-4, drawing considerable attention, particularly with the anticipation surrounding Google I/O 2024 the following day.

No Google Search Competitor

Prior to Altman’s clarification, reports had speculated that OpenAI might be gearing up to unveil a revolutionary search engine powered by ChatGPT. The rumored search engine was purported to leverage ChatGPT’s capabilities to deliver real-time web information accurately, potentially posing a challenge to Google Search.

Some reports even suggested that a future version of ChatGPT, available exclusively to Plus subscribers, would possess the ability to extract data directly from the web and provide proper citations, addressing past concerns about accuracy. However, previous attempts at integrating real-time data reportedly encountered performance issues, leading OpenAI to abandon those plans.

Talent from Google Targeted

Recent reports from The Information and Bloomberg added fuel to the speculation, hinting at OpenAI’s recruitment efforts targeting talent from Google for a specialized project team. Despite Altman’s statement, these reports fueled ongoing speculation about the potential development of a search product at OpenAI.

With the anticipation surrounding the upcoming announcement and Altman’s enigmatic message, OpenAI has captured widespread attention. While the rumors of a Google Search competitor have been quashed for now, the possibility of future competition remains, especially given OpenAI’s recruitment efforts. The days ahead promise further insights into OpenAI’s “new stuff” and its implications for the realm of artificial intelligence and search technology.

Fakhar Zaman emphasized the importance of a wake-up call for the national team ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, slated to take place in the West Indies and the USA next month.

Reflecting on Pakistan’s shock loss in the first T20I against Ireland, Fakhar acknowledged the necessity of the defeat as a wake-up call for the team.

He highlighted how the disappointment fueled every player’s determination to bounce back stronger in the subsequent fixture.

“We needed a wake-up call considering the way we lost the first game. So it was in the back of our minds while we were playing the second game and that is why everyone was giving their best,” Fakhar said in a candid video released by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Digital.

With eyes set on the T20 World Cup, Fakhar Zaman emphasized the significance of maintaining the momentum gained from the second T20I victory. He expressed optimism about carrying the same energy and commitment into the global tournament.

Facing a daunting chase of 194 runs in the second T20I, Pakistan encountered early setbacks with the loss of key wickets. However, Fakhar Zaman’s partnership with Mohammad Rizwan turned the tide in Pakistan’s favour.

Fakhar’s blistering knock of 78 runs off 40 balls, complemented by Rizwan’s unbeaten 75, propelled Pakistan towards victory. Their aggressive approach and calculated strategy defied the early pressure, showcasing the team’s resilience and determination.

Fakhar revealed Pakistan’s game plan to counterattack despite the early setbacks. Their aggressive intent aimed to alleviate pressure and chase down the target swiftly, ultimately leading to a convincing win.

“Our plan was to counterattack despite losing two wickets early. There is pressure when you lose early wickets, but since we have planned to play attacking cricket, it releases all pressure,” Fakhar told PCB Digital.

With the series leveled at 1-1, all eyes are on the third and decisive T20I clash between Pakistan and Ireland. The outcome of this match will not only determine the series winner but also serve as a crucial stepping stone for Pakistan’s T20 World Cup campaign.

bride and groom — Groom Consumes Poisonous Pills After Haqq Mehar Refusal

In a shocking incident at a wedding in Hasilpur, a groom attempted to take his own life by consuming poisonous pills after the bride’s family refused to proceed with the marriage due to unmet Haqq Mehar demands. The tragic turn of events has raised concerns about the growing trend of excessive Haqq Mehar demands and their devastating consequences.

According to reports, the bride’s family had requested Rs. 5 lakh and a 5-marla house in the bride’s name as Haqq Mehar, a mandatory payment made by the groom to the bride at the time of marriage. When the groom’s family declined these terms, the bride’s family decided not to marry off their daughter, leaving the groom devastated.

In a heart-wrenching moment, the groom attempted to end his life by consuming poisonous pills. Fortunately, his life is not in danger, and he is receiving medical attention.

This incident highlights the pressing issue of Haqq Mehar’s demands, which have become a significant burden for many families. The practice, intended to provide financial security for the bride, has been exploited by some families, leading to unbearable pressure on the groom’s family.

The incident has sparked a debate about the need for regulation and awareness about Haqq Mehar’s demands. Experts argue that such demands should be reasonable and not exceed the financial capabilities of the groom’s family.

May 13, 2024

The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) has uncovered deceptive marketing tactics by 12 companies in the beauty industry, accusing them of “greenwashing” their products. These firms falsely label their items as “organic” or “chemical-free” without any scientific backing.

Action Taken Against The Beauty Brands

In response to this alarming trend, the CCP has taken action to address these misleading claims. Their initial investigation revealed that these companies were promoting their products as “natural, organic, sustainable, and chemical-free.” All without providing any evidence to support these assertions.

The commission expressed concerns that such misleading marketing deceives consumers. Furthermore, it poses potential health risks to unsuspecting users. The CCP aims to establish a precedent for responsible marketing practices that cater to consumer trust. Notices have been issued to these companies.

The commission highlighted that these companies often omit crucial information about the chemical or synthetic ingredients in their products. Also, they have been using deceptive terminology, or labeling practices to conceal their presence. Claims such as “100% Organic,” “100% Natural,” and “Pakistan’s No.1 Skincare Brand” are often used to lure in consumers. And they do not realize the true composition of these products.

Deceptive marketing practices are prohibited. The CCP is tasked with ensuring fair competition for consumer protection. After that, they emphasized the importance of accurate, reliable, and truthful marketing communications to assist consumers in making informed purchasing decisions.

Moreover, the CCP pledges to enforce the law rigorously. Companies found guilty of deceptive marketing face strict penalties. Additionally, the commission encourages collaboration with consumers, producers, retailers, and other stakeholders to promote fair competition. And also protect consumer rights in the beauty products market.

Consumers are urged to remain vigilant and report any instances of deceptive advertising or false claims promptly. We can ensure transparency and accountability in the beauty industry by working together. Helping safeguard the well-being of consumers across Pakistan.

May 13, 2024

In a surprising turn of events, mobile phone markets across Pakistan, including big cities like Lahore and Faisalabad, are witnessing a significant shift in prices, leaving tech consumers amazed.

Reports have flooded in, indicating a substantial drop in mobile phone prices, ranging from 20 to 40 percent, which is reshaping the consumer electronics scene in these urban hubs. Once-unattainable flagship smartphones such as Samsung A series, previously priced at a hefty Rs100,000, have now become more accessible, with prices hovering around Rs65,000 to Rs70,000, opening doors for a broader audience.

Mid-Range Devices Become More Accessible

Even entry-level mobile phones, once considered a luxury, are now within reach at Rs20,000, bringing connectivity to a larger segment of the population.

The Significance Beyond Economics

Former video jockey, and currently a renowned actress, Sonya Hussyn, made her acting debut back in 2011. She has since appeared in numerous movies and television series.

Sonya and Sami have been working together on a series called, Pyar Kay Naghmay. The series has been airing for almost a year now and the two have been close since. Sonya Hussyn however has been in the limelight after she shared a video of Sami Khan offering prayer on set.

Here’s the video:

A post shared by Galaxy Lollywood (@galaxylollywood)

Sami Khan’s video was met with great applause from fans. He was greatly appreciated for staying connected to his god and maintaining regularity in his practice. People pointed out that it is often difficult to manage prayers efficiently during work, hence praise to this actor for managing.

Though many appreciated Sami Khan offering prayer, a lot began to question why he was recorded in the first place. Sonya Hussyn has been bombarded with questions wondering why she thought offering namaz, an obligatory pillar of the religion, was a big deal. It is quite the common practice here, netizens wondered. Surely she must have thought that way considering she recorded him. Another concern that arose: it was quite disrespectful to record Sami while he was praying.

Here are some comments:

Unfortunately while many questioned the video itself, netizens took this as an opportunity to obliterate Sonya, and pin point why she herself was not praying as well.

Neither actor has had anything to say to the drama just yet. We’re guessing they likely won’t comment, and will let the matter fade over time itself, as do most matters.

Is Babar Azam Pakistan’s Most Successful T20I Captain?

babar-azam-pakistan-record-breaking-t20i-captain

Babar Azam etched his name in the record books by becoming the most successful T20I captain recently. His milestone was achieved after Pakistan’s convincing victory over Ireland in the second T20I match.

Surpassing the previous record held by Brian Masaba of Uganda, Babar now boasts an impressive tally of 45 wins in 78 matches as Pakistan’s skipper.

The significance of Babar’s achievement was duly acknowledged by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, who presented Babar with a special jersey commemorating his 45 wins as captain.

Babar’s leadership journey has been nothing short of remarkable. With 78 appearances as captain in T20Is, he also surpassed Aaron Finch’s record for the most appearances as captain.

Journey of Babar Azam as Captain

Babar Azam took charge of the national team for the first time in T20Is. He was appointed captain for the first time for the series against Australia in 2019, a month before he turned 25.

Despite starting with a series loss, his record as captain reflects excellence, with Pakistan maintaining a commendable win-loss ratio in T20Is. His win percentage of 57.69 is the fifth-highest among ICC full-member captains who led in 50 or more games.

Under his leadership, Pakistan clinched nine T20I series victories, including a memorable tr-series triumph in New Zealand. However, the last of them came in October 2022.

Notable highlights include reaching the semi-final and final of the T20 World Cups in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

He also became the first Pakistan captain to defeat India in an ICC World Cup event, when he led his team to a ten-wicket victory over arch-rivals during the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Challenges and Resilience

Operating in one of cricket’s toughest captaincy roles, Babar has faced intense scrutiny and challenges. The Pakistan captaincy demands resilience amidst constant commentary and political instability.

Pakistan lost to Zimbabwe during the 2022 T20 World Cup, after which fans called for his removal, however, the team qualified for the finals miraculously, which silenced the voices.

His captaincy came once again under scanner after Pakistan recently leveled the home T20I series against a second-string New Zealand, followed by a loss against Ireland in the first T20I. However, the chairman of PCB has backed him as captain.

Despite criticism record suggest that he is arguably the best Pakistan captain in T20I cricket and he has the ability to lead Pakistan to World Cup glory, having come short twice in past.

As Pakistan gears up for the upcoming T20 World Cup, Babar’s leadership will be pivotal in guiding the team to success. While his records speak volumes, Babar needs to acknowledge the need to enhance his tactical acumen to lead Pakistan to victory on the global stage.

Pakistan’s emphatic victory over Ireland in the second T20I encounter was overshadowed by an unfortunate incident involving Pakistani pacer Shaheen Afridi and an Afghan spectator.

Reports emerged of the spectator allegedly misbehaving with Afridi as he made his way from the dressing room to the field.

Initially, Afridi chose to ignore the derogatory remarks from the Afghan fan. However, as the behaviour persisted, Afridi took prompt action by informing the security personnel present at the venue.

Swift measures were taken, and the spectator was promptly removed from the ground, ensuring the safety and dignity of the players.

Despite the off-field distraction, Pakistan exhibited a commanding performance on the field, securing a comprehensive seven-wicket victory over Ireland.

During the match, Shaheen Afridi achieved a significant milestone, reaching 300 wickets in international cricket with the dismissal of Irish captain Paul Stirling.

Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), presented Afridi with special jersey to honor his achievement after the match.

Initially, Pakistan faced early setbacks, losing Saim Ayub and skipper Babar Azam cheaply. However, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman turned the tide with a remarkable partnership.

Rizwan and Fakhar’s monumental 140-run partnership, which surpassed Pakistan’s previous record for the third wicket in T20Is, laid the foundation for Pakistan’s successful chase.

Rizwan’s unbeaten 75 off 46 balls, complemented by Fakhar’s blistering 78 off 40 deliveries, propelled Pakistan towards victory.

Additionally, Azam Khan’s aggressive cameo of 30* off 10 balls further consolidated Pakistan’s position, ensuring a comfortable chase for the Men in Green.

If you play for average, you are an average player: Mohammad Rizwan

Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batter, Mohammad Rizwan, showcased his batting prowess in a spectacular unbeaten inning of 75 runs off just 46 balls during Pakistan’s seven-wicket victory over Ireland in the second T20I.

His outstanding performance earned him the coveted Man of the Match award, marking his 12th such accolade in T20Is.

Rizwan’s exceptional batting display not only contributed to Pakistan’s triumph but also highlighted his impressive batting average, making him only the second player in T20I history to boast an average of 50+. Joining the illustrious ranks alongside former Indian captain Virat Kohli, Rizwan’s average stands at an impressive 50.38, while Kohli’s is 51.75.

However, Rizwan’s bold statement after the match caught everyone’s attention, asserting that any player who plays for the average inevitably becomes an average player themselves.

During the post-match conference, he acknowledged the significance of focusing on the game’s demands rather than fixating solely on individual statistics.

Drawing inspiration from Kohli, Rizwan emphasized the importance of adapting to match situations and conditions to excel as a cricketer.

“If you look at the average, you are an average player. If you look at the conditions and what the game demands, that will make you better. We have learned a lot of things from Virat Kohli, I respect him,” Rizwan remarked, reflecting on his approach towards batting.

Rizwan also praised the resilience of the Ireland bowlers and highlighted the mindset adopted by the Pakistan batters during the chase. Despite the initial pressure, Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman orchestrated a remarkable partnership to steer Pakistan towards victory.

“They played really well against us. It was not an easy chase because the Ireland bowlers knew their conditions better, they gave us a difficult time early on, but we decided that chasing 194, we have to attack,” Rizwan stated, acknowledging the team’s collective effort.

As Pakistan gears up to face India in a highly anticipated clash at the upcoming T20 World Cup, the spotlight will undoubtedly be on the batting prowess of Rizwan and Kohli.

With the ICC T20 World Cup set to ignite the fervour of cricket fans worldwide, all eyes will be on the showdown between India and Pakistan on June 9th in New York, as these two luminaries aim to showcase their batting brilliance on the grand stage.
