New PTA Tax Values For Used iPhone 15 Series in Pakistan

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and the Directorate General of Customs Valuation Karachi have recently issued updated tax and customs valuation rules for used mobile phones, including the highly popular Apple iPhone 15 series, effective in 2026. This revision aims to align import taxes with current international market prices and curb undervaluation at customs.   📉 What Changed in 2026? Under Valuation Ruling No. 2035 of 2026, the customs authorities revised the fixed customs values (C&F values) for the commercial import of used phones without packaging or accessories. The updated valuations apply to a broad category of devices from top brands like Apple, Samsung, and Google Pixel.  This update replaces outdated valuation tables that were last set over 18 months ago and no longer reflected real-world used device prices. It also makes tax calculation more transparent by basing duties on fixed values, irrespective of cosmetic condition or grading.  👉 Key Requ...

Young Shaheens’ Campaign Starts on a Sour Note: England Beat Pakistan by 37 Runs in U19 World Cup Opener

Well, that wasn’t the start we were hoping for, was it? Our young guns stumbled right out of the gates at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in Harare, losing to England by 37 runs on Friday. And honestly, it hurts a bit more because we know these boys have it in them. England posted 210 runs in their innings, and Pakistan could only manage 173 in response, getting bowled out with still a few overs to spare. The batting lineup just never really got going, and that’s putting it mildly. Bowlers Did Their Job, Batters Couldn’t Deliver Credit where it’s due our bowling attack did exactly what we asked of them. Ahmed Hussain was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/38, while Abdul Subhan chipped in with 2/24 . They restricted England to what looked like a very chaseable total on paper. Honestly, 210 should’ve been within reach for these lads. The problem? Our batting completely collapsed. Pakistan were staring at a massive defeat at 85 for 6  before skipper Farhan Yousaf decided to take matt...

America Has Put Us on Notice Again: Visa Suspension for Pakistan and 74 Other Countries

Honestly, is anyone even surprised anymore? The United States has once again shown us exactly where we stand in their grand scheme of things. The US State Department has announced that starting January 21, they’re suspending immigrant visa processing for Pakistan along with 74 other countries. Yes, you read that correctly  75 countries total. And what’s their reasoning? Apparently, they want to ensure that new immigrants don’t become a drain on American taxpayer resources.  This, after decades of Pakistanis contributing to every sector of American society – from doctors saving lives in hospitals to engineers building tech companies, from small business owners to hardworking taxi drivers. Suddenly, we’re all potential liabilities. The timing couldn’t be more telling. This announcement comes just as the new administration is settling in, and it seems like the old playbook is being dusted off once again. For ordinary Pakistanis who have been waiting in queues for years, dreaming...

Pakistani Star Batter Mohammad Rizwan Forced to Retire Out During BBL Match What Really Happened?

Yaar, cricket mein har roz kuch naya dekhne ko milta hai, but what happened with Mohammad Rizwan during the Big Bash League match was totally unexpected! Our star wicketkeeper-batter, jo Pakistan ki backbone hai, was forced to retire out during BBL 15. Haan ji, aap ne sahi parha retire out! What Happened in the Melbourne Renegades vs Sydney Thunder Match? During the 33rd match of the 2025/26 Big Bash League (BBL 15) between Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Thunder, something unusual took place that left Pakistani fans shocked and confused. Mohammad Rizwan, who has been representing the Melbourne Renegades this season, had to retire out during the innings. For those who don’t know, “retire out” is quite rare in cricket. It’s when a batsman voluntarily leaves the field without being dismissed usually for tactical reasons or due to some strategy the team wants to implement. Why Was Rizwan Forced to Retire Out? The decision to retire out wasn’t Rizwan’s personal choice, apparently. Accordin...
