FBR invoicing for steel melters and re-rollers
Billets, bars and girders invoiced on FBR's own steel scenarios, with the right HS code and unit on every line. eInvoicePro sends each invoice to FBR as you dispatch, so every sale is on record.
Who it's for
Built for the steel sector
For units that invoice by the tonne, every day.
Composite units
Melting and re-rolling under one roof, with every sale invoiced the same way.
Ship breakers & toll work
Ship-breaking sales and re-rolling for others, each on its own FBR scenario.
What changed
The 2026 steel rules in brief
Your sales tax is now tied to your electricity use. Your invoices still go to FBR.
Tax by the unit
Since 1 July 2026, melters, re-rollers and composite units pay sales tax on each unit of electricity they use, including power they make themselves. It counts as input tax you adjust.
Rs 5 a unit for imported scrap
Units whose imported or EFS scrap is above 70% of what they use can pay Rs 5 a unit. Since 1 October 2026, FBR looks at the last six months instead of twelve.
Annex-K with every return
Steel units must file Annex-K with their sales tax return, and FBR names the units on the Rs 5 rate in Sales Tax General Orders 16 and 22 of 2026.
FBR scenarios
The right scenario on every steel invoice
FBR has three scenarios just for steel. eInvoicePro sets the right one for you.
| Scenario | Use it for | Example |
|---|---|---|
| SN003 | Sale of steel, melted and re-rolled | Billets, ingots, bars and girders |
| SN004 | Sales by ship breakers | Plates and scrap from a broken-up ship |
| SN011 | Toll manufacturing by the steel sector | Re-rolling another unit's billets for a fee |
eInvoicePro has all 28 FBR scenarios. See the full list.

FAQ
What steel units ask
Scenarios, the 2026 rules and getting started.
Do steel melters still need to send invoices to FBR?
Yes. The per-unit electricity tax changes how you pay sales tax, not whether you invoice. Every sale still needs a sales tax invoice sent to FBR, on the steel scenario.
Which FBR scenario does a re-rolling mill use?
SN003, for the sale of melted and re-rolled steel. Composite units use it too. eInvoicePro sets it on your steel products, so nobody has to pick it on each invoice.
What is SN011 for?
Toll manufacturing by the steel sector: when you melt or re-roll material that belongs to someone else and charge them for the work.
What changed for steel units in October 2026?
S.R.O. 1788(I)/2026 shortened the scrap test for the Rs 5 rate from twelve months to six, from 1 October 2026. Your share of imported or EFS scrap is now checked over the last six months.
Can we upload dispatches from Excel?
Yes. Bulk invoicing takes a day's dispatches from one Excel file, checks every row and sends them to FBR.
What is the penalty for not sending invoices to FBR?
From 1 July 2026, each invoice not issued as required costs Rs 25,000 or 5% of the tax, whichever is higher. A business that should send invoices to FBR and doesn't can be fined up to Rs 1 million, then up to Rs 5 million a month later, and its premises can be sealed.
When must steel mills install FBR production monitoring?
By 30 December 2026. STGO 29 of 2026 covers every melter, re-roller and composite unit, on every active line, from billet counting to the dispatch weighbridge. Steel can't leave the premises unless it was monitored. See the FBR production monitoring deadlines.
