He said that the Sindh Department of Excise and Taxation had taken a revolutionary step by connecting the Tax System with One Link.

Speaking on checkpoints, he said that the checkpoints would be established at entry and exit points of major cities, where vehicles would be checked for taxation compliance and action would be taken against tax-defaulting vehicles.
In the first phase, a checkpost would be set up at the Karachi Toll Station, where the tax records of vehicles would be checked. Tax-defaulting vehicles would be impounded until the owners pay the outstanding tax.
