KARACHI: The Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has advised its members to renew their membership by March 31, 2026, to avoid any inconvenience.

According to Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the renewal process for the 2026-27 membership period is currently underway. As stipulated by the Trade Organizations Act 2013, the final date for renewal is March 31, 2026. KCCI has communicated this deadline to its members through letters, emails, SMS, and social media, emphasizing the importance of renewing memberships by submitting the necessary membership fee along with proof of filing the latest income tax and sales tax returns, where applicable. Failure to renew by the specified date will lead to an automatic cessation of membership, requiring members to undergo the entire re-admission process to rejoin.

To assist members in the renewal process, KCCI provides multiple payment options. Members can pay their fees via online banking or through a bank challan at any branch of Bank Al-Habib, Habib Metropolitan Bank, Meezan Bank Limited, and Faysal Bank Limited. Alternatively, payments can be made in the form of a pay order, which must be submitted at the KCCI office accompanied by the payment receipt and required documents. Members who have not received their payment challans are advised to contact the KCCI Membership Department during office hours for support.

Furthermore, KCCI is issuing Membership Cards and Certificates promptly to facilitate members for various official purposes. Members are encouraged to complete the process at the earliest to avoid any last-minute complications.
