LAHORE : The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) announces significant expansion of its jurisdiction across Punjab.

Acting on the directives of the chief minister, the PRA has been taking steps to operationalise its offices in 12 districts. Offices in Kasur and Sheikhupura are now functional, following a recent notification, while an office in Bahawalpur was previously inaugurated.

According to a PRA spokesperson, Enforcement Officer Aqil Sardar has been appointed to lead operations in Kasur, with Umar Munir overseeing activities in Sheikhupura. This expansion aligns with a strategic plan to establish offices in nine additional districts, broadening PRA's provincial presence.

The PRA has taken a proactive stance on increasing revenue resources and enhancing public services.

These new offices are expected to make tax services more accessible to residents, while the broader expansion is anticipated to drive substantial revenue growth. As part of this initiative, PRA offices will soon be established in Murree, Okara, and Jhelum.
