Excise Department Takes Action in Faisalabad
The Punjab Excise and Taxation Department has reportedly sealed NFC University on Jaranwala Road in Faisalabad over alleged unpaid property tax.
According to local media reports, the institution owed Rs83.9 million in property tax dues.
Officials said the action was taken after prolonged non-payment despite repeated obligations.
A team from the Excise and Taxation Department reached the university premises and carried out the sealing process.
The department stated that legal formalities were completed before the campus was formally sealed.
Heavy Tax Arrears Prompt Enforcement
Officials described the outstanding amount as a heavy tax burden.
They said the dues had remained unpaid for an extended period.
The enforcement action was carried out under tax recovery laws.
According to officials cited in local reports, the university’s operations were halted after the sealing process.
The development has drawn attention in Faisalabad as a major property tax recovery case involving an educational institution.
Property Tax Compliance Under Focus
The reported sealing has also raised wider questions about property tax compliance by public and private institutions.
Authorities said the Excise and Taxation Department has a responsibility to recover pending dues under the law.
Officials added that institutions with outstanding liabilities must clear their dues to avoid enforcement action.
The case has been highlighted by local media as part of broader tax recovery efforts in Punjab.
The incident also reflects growing pressure on institutions to meet property tax obligations on time.
Further action will depend on payment of the outstanding amount and completion of legal requirements.
The university administration has not yet been quoted in the available reports.
The matter is expected to remain under review by the concerned department until the tax issue is resolved.
