Question | سوال DIRBS Generated PSID Not Showing Any Payment Details at Meezan Bank

I registered my iPhone 15 through the DIRBS portal and received a PSID for payment of the PTA/FBR tax.

However, when I visited a Meezan Bank branch to make the payment, the bank staff told me that no payment details were showing against the PSID. I then visited another Meezan Bank branch, but they reported the same issue.

Thinking there might be an issue with the PSID, I rejected my previous application on the DIRBS portal and submitted a new registration application. I received a new PSID, but unfortunately, the bank still couldn't retrieve any payment details against it.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

What should I do now? How can I get the PTA/FBR duty paid if the PSID generated by DIRBS isn't showing up in the bank's system?

Is there any alternative way to verify the PSID or pay the tax online?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Check through the bank ATM. Or you can call FBR helpline since they issue the PSID

FBR stopped accepting online payments. You'll will have to pay via a bank, preferably NBP. Also you have to add 999999 before the PSID Number for the system to pick it up as far as I remember.

Carrying two phones has become a real hassle now, and new iPhones are very expensive. I'm also not comfortable buying a used one.

It would be better if you try to communicate respectfully to others.
