Under this scheme, cards will be issued to a total of 65 distinguished exporters and compliant taxpayers, which includes companies, Associations of Persons (AOPs), and individual taxpayers. These recipients were recently honored with awards by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

According to sources, the privileges extended to cardholders will encompass expedited clearance at immigration counters, issuance of official passports and related facilities, as well as access to VIP lounges at airports. Furthermore, the scheme will encompass new taxpayers who have made the highest tax contributions (top two) as well as Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) (top three).
