Defending Section 140 Recovery Notices & Bank Account Unfreezing Protocols
Urgent legal remedies available when FBR issues Section 140 notices to commercial banks for attachment of company accounts without notice.
Key Legal Takeaways
- Section 140 empowers FBR to attach bank accounts, but strict statutory pre-conditions must be satisfied.
- Immediate appeal filing with stay application before Commissioner Appeals suspends recovery.
- Emergency High Court writ petitions ensure bank account unfreezing within 24 hours.
Arbitrary bank account attachment severely disrupts corporate operations and payroll. Our senior tax advocates file emergency High Court petitions and administrative stay applications to obtain immediate unfreezing directives against illegal Section 140 recovery demands.
