How do I activate PRA?
To activate your Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) account, you need to follow a specific online enrollment and activation process, which often involves linking your account with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
Step-by-Step Guide to Activating Your PRA Enrollment
Activating your PRA enrollment is a straightforward online procedure that involves several key steps, primarily starting from the PRA Portal and integrating with your eFBR account.
Here are the detailed steps to activate your PRA enrollment:
- Visit the Official PRA Portal: Begin by navigating to the official Punjab Revenue Authority website at https://pra.punjab.gov.pk. This is the central hub for all online PRA services.
- Initiate e-Enrollment: On the PRA Portal, locate and click on the 'e-Enrollment' option. This section is designed for new users to register or existing FBR users to enroll with PRA.
- Enter NTN and Image Character: You will be prompted to enter your National Tax Number (NTN). This is crucial for identifying your existing tax profile. You will also need to enter the characters displayed in an image for security verification.
- Automatic Redirection to eFBR: After entering your NTN and verification characters, the system will typically automatically redirect you to the eFBR portal. This step facilitates the transfer of your existing tax data.
- Confirm Particulars Transfer: Within the eFBR interface (or upon return to PRA after FBR verification), you will need to confirm the transfer of your particulars from your eFBR account to the PRA system. This synchronizes your information between the two tax authorities.
- Return to PRA Portal: Once the transfer is confirmed, go back to the PRA portal to complete the activation process.
- Activate Your Enrollment: On the PRA portal, find the option to Activate your Enrollment. This is the final step to make your PRA account functional.
- Set New Password and PIN: As part of the activation, you will be required to enter a new password specifically for your PRA account and set a PIN Code. Remember these credentials as they will be required for future logins and transactions on the PRA portal.
By following these steps, you successfully activate your PRA enrollment, allowing you to manage your provincial tax obligations online.
