ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Thursday revised valuation rates of immovable properties in 40 major cities of the country in comparison with earlier notified rates which were done on December 1, 2021.

The valuation table was notified separately for the first time during the PMLN led regime when it was fixed at 20 to 25 percent of market rates.
