ISLAMABAD: The bid to comply with the FATF requirements for binding real estate agents, property dealers, jewelers, brokers, housing authorities and developers for generating Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) has spread panic among millions of owners of these businesses across the country.
Now the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has sent out notices to over 22,000 registered property dealers across Pakistan, directing them to get registered on the website of the Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) in order to kick-start complying with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) requirements.
