PSEB Registration in Pakistan
- Government fees disclosed upfront
- Free first consultation
- Filed and followed up by our team
PSEB (Pakistan Software Export Board) registration is built for IT companies, software houses, call centers, and freelancers earning foreign income from tech and outsourced services work. Once registered with PSEB, you get access to tax exemptions on IT exports and the kind of documentation that makes you look credible to international clients who ask whether you're actually a registered business.
IT company registration with PSEB and call center registration with PSEB go through the same core process, with some differences in the supporting documents depending on whether you're billing clients for software development or for outsourced voice/BPO services. We handle the eligibility check, the online registration on the PSEB portal, and the document verification follow-up, whether you're already a registered company or a freelancer registering before incorporating one.
PSEB registration is distinct from, but usually follows, company registration and NTN issuance. It's also worth knowing PSEB registration on its own doesn't automatically grant tax exemption; that typically requires a separate exemption filing with FBR referencing your PSEB certificate, which we'll explain clearly rather than let you assume one registration covers both.
- Software houses and IT agencies registering as an IT company with PSEB
- Call centers and BPO operations registering for PSEB recognition and export benefits
- Freelance developers and small teams with foreign clients
- Companies that have completed company registration and now want PSEB benefits
What you'll need
- SECP/NTN registration, if registering as a company, or CNIC for individual freelancers
- Proof of IT or call center business activity (client contracts, sample invoices, or a description of services)
- Bank account details for export remittance
- Office address (a verifiable home office is generally acceptable for freelancers)
What this costs
PSEB registration has a modest government fee that we confirm at the time of filing. Our service fee covers the eligibility check, application, and verification follow-up, for IT companies, call centers, and freelancers alike.
How it works
Eligibility Check
We confirm your business activity qualifies under PSEB's IT company or call center categories.
Online Registration
We complete your registration on the PSEB portal with the correct business category.
Document Verification
PSEB verifies the submitted documents. We follow up so this step doesn't stall.
PSEB Certificate Issuance
Once verified, you receive your PSEB registration certificate.
Mistakes to avoid
- Registering under the wrong business category, IT company versus call center versus individual freelancer, which can complicate verification.
- Not keeping organized proof of foreign client invoices, which PSEB and FBR may both ask for at different points.
- Assuming PSEB registration alone grants tax exemption without filing the separate FBR exemption referencing it.
- Letting registration lapse without renewing, then having to re-establish eligibility from scratch.

Frequently asked questions
Tax exemption eligibility on IT export income, and a registration certificate that gives international clients confidence they're dealing with a recognized entity, not an unverifiable individual.
Yes. Call centers and BPO operations earning foreign revenue from outsourced services can register with PSEB alongside software companies, with documentation adjusted for the nature of the service being exported.
Government fees are modest and confirmed at filing. We quote our service fee separately and upfront.
Yes, freelancers and sole proprietors can register individually. Incorporating a company later doesn't require starting the PSEB process over.
Yes, PSEB registration requires periodic renewal. We'll flag the date so it doesn't lapse.
No. PSEB registration is separate from, and usually follows, your NTN and FBR registration. Tax exemption on IT exports typically needs its own FBR filing that references your PSEB certificate.
The core process is the same, but the supporting documents differ: a call center typically shows proof of outsourced voice or BPO service contracts, while a software company shows development project invoices or contracts.
Generally yes, as long as you can show genuine IT export activity and the required documentation. We'll confirm specifics for your situation during the consultation.
