The chief commissioners will speak with stakeholders and use authorised valuers from the State Bank of Pakistan to determine values, which can be higher or lower than the published valuations.
The VRCs must decide on representation by January 20, 2022, and submit it to the board for notification. On January 16, the FBR will notify the VRCs of their revaluation recommendations and will put them into effect.
In the interim, until the consultation process is completed and stakeholders are satisfied, the values announced in SRO1534-1572(I)/2021 on December 1 will not be applicable to all in-process transactions.
