Talking to ARY News, she said when she contacted the bank, after her bank account was closed, they told that it was seized on request of the Federal Board of Revenue. Zehra said she withdraws money using ATM.
She said her account was seized for not paying taxes worth Rs11 million. She said she was the sole bread earner of her family, how she could pay this much tax.
The widow said the bank informed her that she had another bank account to her name, which she knew not.
She has also requested the bank to detach the account from her name and close sales tax registration as it was made fraudulently.
“Some unscrupulous element has misused my CNIC for sales tax registration fraudulently for which I have no information,” she said
