Everything You Need to Know About IBFT Payroll in Pakistan

What is IBFT?

IBFT (Interbank Fund Transfer) is Pakistan's electronic interbank payment system that allows transfers between different bank accounts. Businesses use IBFT bulk payment files to disburse salaries to employees holding accounts at any Pakistani bank.

Why use an IBFT bank sheet for payroll?

Instead of manually entering each employee's account number and salary amount in your bank's portal, an IBFT bank sheet lets you upload a single file with all employees' details. This saves hours of data entry, eliminates errors, and processes all salaries simultaneously.

What information does an IBFT payroll file contain?

A typical IBFT payroll file contains: employee name, CNIC or employee ID, bank account IBAN, bank name, branch code, net salary amount, and payment narration/reference. The exact columns required vary by bank.

How does Peoplifi generate IBFT bank sheets?

After finalizing payroll in Peoplifi, click 'Export Bank Sheet' and select your bank. Peoplifi pulls each employee's IBAN, calculates their net salary (after FBR tax, EOBI, PESSI, and any deductions), and generates a file in your bank's exact required format — ready to upload.

What are the IBFT transfer limits in Pakistan?

SBP-regulated IBFT limits: PKR 1,000,000 per transaction for most banks. Corporate accounts typically have higher negotiated limits. Bulk payroll files are often processed under special corporate bulk payment agreements.

IBFT Payroll FAQs

Can I use IBFT to pay employees at different banks?+

Yes. IBFT allows transfers to accounts at any SBP-regulated bank in Pakistan. Your IBFT payroll file can contain employees banking with HBL, MCB, UBL, Meezan, Alfalah, and others — all in the same file.

How long does an IBFT salary transfer take?+

IBFT transfers are typically processed within the same business day (T+0) when initiated before the bank's cut-off time, usually 3:00–5:00 PM. Some banks process in real-time during business hours.

Do I need a corporate account to use IBFT payroll?+

Yes, bulk IBFT payroll transfers require a corporate or business account with internet banking access. Most Pakistani banks offer dedicated corporate internet banking portals with bulk transfer capabilities.

Is it safe to upload payroll files to my bank's portal?+

Yes. Bank corporate portals use SSL encryption and require dual authorization (maker-checker) for bulk payments. Peoplifi generates clean, bank-formatted files with no macros or embedded scripts.
