PSEB registration for IT companies and freelancers

Why IT businesses register with PSEB

PSEB, which operates under the Ministry of IT & Telecommunication, maintains registers of IT/ITeS companies, call centres and freelancers. Registration is often relevant to how IT export income is treated and to access to industry programmes. Benefits and conditions change, so we confirm the current position for your business before you apply.

Who typically needs this

• Software houses and IT/ITeS companies exporting services
• Call centres and BPO businesses
• Individual freelancers earning from international clients
• New IT companies after SECP incorporation

Documents and information usually required

• Company: SECP incorporation certificate and related documents (or firm/sole proprietor registration where eligible)
• NTN / FBR registration — see NTN registration
• CNICs of owners/directors, or of the freelancer
• Business or professional profile and details of IT services provided
• Evidence of business activity or export income, where required

The exact list depends on your circumstances. We confirm it on WhatsApp before any submission.

How the process works

1. Eligibility check

   We confirm which PSEB category fits — company, call centre or freelancer.

2. Document preparation

   We assemble the documents and profile information PSEB asks for.

3. Online application

   The application is submitted through PSEB’s online system and the prescribed fee is paid.

4. Certificate and renewal

   On approval you receive your registration; we note the renewal date and any reporting requirements.

Important considerations

• PSEB registration is generally time-bound and needs renewal.
• PSEB registration does not replace FBR obligations — you still file income tax returns.
