      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330381561/fbrs-iris-system-down-causing-filing-difficulties-for-citizens</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Federal Board of Revenue’s (FBR) IRIS system has crashed, significantly impacting citizens’ ability to file their income tax returns.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to reports, the system has been non-operational for the past two hours, leaving many taxpayers unable to submit their returns ahead of the impending deadline.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the deadline for filing income tax returns approaches on September 30, citizens are expressing frustration over the technical issues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many filers are now calling for an extension to the deadline, citing the challenges posed by the system’s failure.&lt;/p&gt;
