Clearing members have been urged to ensure the requisite amounts are available in their settling bank accounts. According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), necessary details and reports for the said period have already been made available in the CGT System.
Furthermore, the CGT related to trading of future commodity contracts at the PMEX, for the period from July 1, 2025, to November 30, 2025, has been finalized based on transactional data received from PMEX. Corresponding details and reports for this period have been made accessible in the CGT System for review and reconciliation.

Additionally, the aggregate CGT from the redemption of units of open-end mutual funds for the period from May 1, 2026, to May 31, 2026, has also been finalized. Relevant details and reports for asset management companies have been made available in the CGT System.
Clearing members are tasked with verifying investor-wise details of capital gains or losses, and any associated tax, through the available reports in the CGT System. In cases of non-collection or partial collection of CGT, clearing members are advised to immediately provide the names and Unique Identification Numbers (UINs) of defaulting customers to NCCPL after the CGT Collection Date. Failure to comply may lead to necessary actions as per NCCPL's applicable rules and regulations.
