FBR Licensed Integrators List 2026: PRAL, Haball, WebDNAWorks, EY & How to Verify

FBR does not accept invoices from just any software. To post live digital invoices you must connect through the Board's computerised system either via PRAL (Pakistan Revenue Automation Ltd), the government's own integrator, or via a private licensed integrator that FBR has approved. Both routes return the same thing on every invoice: an Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and a Version 2.0 QR code. What differs is who operates the connection, and what they charge.

PRAL provides its integration at no cost. Private licensed integrators may charge a fee — FBR has capped what they can bill, reported as a maximum of around Rs 10 per invoice, or a retainer in the region of Rs 100,000 per month or Rs 1 million per year — and in return typically offer a more complete product with onboarding and support. FBR itself never charges a registered person a fee to integrate.

Press coverage of the rollout has named the licensed integrators as PRAL (free of cost), Haball, WebDNAWorks and EY, alongside a growing set of approved platforms. This is the group most commonly reported in 2026, but it is not a closed list — FBR adds integrators over time, and the authoritative, current list is the one FBR publishes on its own website. Always treat a news article (including this one) as a pointer, not the source of truth.

The list is short by design. Under the SRO 288(I)/2026 draft framework, an integrator licence is a five-year, non-transferable authorisation that requires the applicant to show technical capacity, submit audited accounts, maintain a minimum paid-up capital reported at Rs 10 million, register with the Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA) or ICAP, and confirm no involvement in fiscal fraud or blacklisting. Those barriers keep the pool of licensed integrators small and vetted.

Connecting your FBR profile through an unlicensed party puts your compliance — and your data — at risk, so verify before you sign anything. Confirm the provider is either PRAL or a name that appears on FBR's own published list of valid licensed integrators. If a provider cannot show it is on that list, treat it as a red flag and stop.

You do not, however, have to be a licensed integrator yourself, and you do not have to build your own API connection. A ready platform such as Digi Invoice posts your invoices through the certified integration route, so you get the IRN and QR code on every invoice without writing code or applying for a licence. The right question for a business is not 'which licence do I need?' but 'which route gets my invoices posted correctly with the least cost and effort?'

If you already have (or can build) software that speaks the FBR DI API, the PRAL route costs nothing and is the natural choice. If you want a done-for-you product — validation of every line against FBR's HS-code, rate and sale-type rules, bulk posting, PDF printing, a buyer and stock register, and a built-in ledger for your monthly return — a ready platform saves the developer time and the trial-and-error of clearing sandbox scenarios.

Digi Invoice is that ready platform: PRAL-certified, aligned to the DI API v1.12 specification, and designed so a business connects its FBR profile through a guided setup and starts posting compliant invoices the same day. You keep the freedom to verify the underlying integration against FBR's official list, while skipping the cost and delay of building or licensing one yourself.
