Meta Description:
Continental Biscuits Limited has officially gone live on the Federal Board of Revenue’s digital invoicing system through Haball’s Wasl platform, marking a key milestone in advancing digital compliance, automation, and transparency within Pakistan’s corporate and financial ecosystem.


In a major step towards Pakistan’s digital compliance and automation goals, Continental Biscuits Limited (CBL) has officially gone live on the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR)’s digital invoicing system through Haball’s digital platform, Wasl. This milestone underscores the growing collaboration between the private sector and regulatory bodies to foster a more transparent, efficient, and digitally integrated corporate environment.

Haball, a leading fintech player driving business digitization across Pakistan, announced the successful onboarding of Continental Biscuits on its LinkedIn page. The company emphasized that this achievement is not only a reflection of technological progress but also a testament to the shared vision of promoting tax compliance and transparency across Pakistan’s corporate sector.

Wasl, Haball’s digital invoicing and reporting platform, has been at the forefront of enabling businesses to comply with FBR’s e-invoicing requirements. By integrating with the FBR’s system, Wasl allows enterprises to automate tax documentation, reduce manual processes, and ensure real-time reporting—helping them remain compliant with the country’s evolving regulatory standards.

Continental Biscuits Limited, one of Pakistan’s leading FMCG companies, successfully transitioned to the new system with the dedicated support of its finance and IT teams. Key members from CBL, including Mustafa Haider (Head of Finance), Muhammad Harris (CIO), Farhan Aslam (Senior Manager SAP), Osama Junaid, Muhammad Khizer, Muhammad Almas, and Faheem Siddiqui, played crucial roles in ensuring a seamless and efficient implementation.

The Haball team, comprising Saqib Bashir, Farrukh Iftikhar, Muhammad Ali Khan, Burhan Khanzada, and Muddassir Ali Rana, worked closely with Continental Biscuits to facilitate the migration process and integration with the FBR’s e-invoicing infrastructure. Their combined efforts reflect the spirit of collaboration needed to drive Pakistan’s ongoing digital transformation in the financial and corporate sectors.

The rollout of FBR’s digital invoicing framework marks a significant stride towards enhancing transparency, accountability, and traceability in business transactions. It also aligns with broader initiatives by institutions such as the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), and the Pakistan Business Council to promote a compliant and technology-driven economy.

As Pakistan continues to embrace digital reforms across taxation, finance, and trade, Haball’s Wasl platform is expected to play an increasingly important role in helping businesses adapt to regulatory shifts and leverage automation for long-term growth. The collaboration between Continental Biscuits and Haball serves as a model for other organizations aiming to modernize their financial operations while aligning with national digital transformation objectives.

With the successful go-live, Haball and Continental Biscuits have set a strong precedent for corporate compliance and digital innovation in Pakistan’s fast-evolving regulatory and technological ecosystem.
