Terms of use

Last updated:

This website

You may read, print and share the pages of this website. The guides and calculators are free to use.

The guides and calculators are information, not advice

  • The guides are general information about the law in Pakistan as we understood it on the date each one shows. The law changes, and its application depends on your circumstances. They are not legal or tax advice.
  • Each guide cites the official sources it relies on. Where sources disagree or are unclear, the guide says so. Check the official source, or ask a lawyer or tax adviser, before you act.
  • The calculators show their working, so you can check every figure. The tax calculator shows tax withheld under section 155 only. It does not work out your final tax.
  • We try hard to be accurate, but we cannot promise that every page is complete, correct or up to date. If you find a mistake, please tell us on GitHub.

The app

Version 1.0 of the app was released on 9 November 2026. The website and the app are run by AR LABS (SMC-PRIVATE) LIMITED, a company registered in Pakistan. These terms are a first version and will be completed after a legal review. For now:

  • It is a record-keeping tool. It records rent and payments; it does not collect, hold or transfer money. You remain responsible for your tenancies, your records, your tax returns and what the law requires of you, such as registering tenants with the police.
  • You are responsible for what you enter, including your tenants’ personal details: collect only what you need, with their consent, and keep it accurate.
  • Use it lawfully, and only for records you are entitled to keep.
  • It is provided as it is. The app is open source under the MIT licence, which says that it comes without warranty of any kind. Keep your own copies of anything important; the app lets you export your records.

The code

The code of the app, its database and this website is published under the MIT licence. The fonts are under the SIL Open Font License; see the licences page.
