  • A business has to acquire its NTN to adhere to the imposed Pakistan tax laws.

3. Form 1 for Drug Manufacturing License

These forms are critically important in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements in order to continue with business as usual.

Key Benefits of Form 1

2. Tax Compliance

Tax compliance is a result of registration through proper forms that apply in the workings of the progression. It reduces the chances of paying a penalty, establishes a good relationship with the tax body, and makes financial transactions easier.

3. Regulatory Compliance in Manufacturing
