Common Zakat questions
What is the Zakat rate in Pakistan?+
Compulsory Zakat is deducted at 2.5% of the saving account or qualifying security balance on the Zakat valuation date (1st Ramadan), under the Zakat & Ushr Ordinance 1980.
On which accounts is Zakat deducted automatically?+
Profit-and-loss sharing (PLS) saving accounts and certain government securities held by Sunni Muslims. Current accounts, foreign currency accounts and accounts held by non-Muslims or declared exempt (CZ-50) are excluded.
How do I avoid compulsory bank Zakat deduction?+
File a Form CZ-50 declaration with your bank before the Zakat valuation date — based on Fiqh-e-Jafria, exemption, or other valid grounds. You then pay Zakat directly to eligible recipients yourself.
When is the Zakat valuation date?+
1st Ramadan each Hijri year. The State Bank announces the exact Gregorian date and the nisab threshold (linked to 612.32g of silver) before deductions begin.
Is paid Zakat tax deductible in Pakistan?+
Yes. Zakat paid under the Zakat & Ushr Ordinance 1980 is a straight deduction from taxable income under Section 60 of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001.
What is the nisab threshold for Zakat?+
Nisab is the minimum holding required before Zakat applies — equivalent to 87.48g of gold or 612.32g of silver. The State Bank publishes the cash-equivalent nisab each Ramadan.
