There are many methods mate.
Payoneer for one.

Besides if they work through a freelancing platform like Freelancer or upwork, they get multiple ways to withdraw that money.

Pakistan IT sector reaches US$ 4.1 billion
India IT sector reaches US$ 137 billion FY18-19 > projection US$ 350 BN in 2025

Guess what, Pakistani Govts incentive to IT sector is 100% more than what Indian govt provided to their businesses... Our business community is selfish. They never take advantage of anything or try to play out of the box because of fear of failure. In Freelancing services, Pakistanis are on 3rd or maybe on 2nd in the world.

Unfortunately, this is the level of our IT sector performance in helping to grow our economy - Sad state affairs!

It's depend the method freelancer website are using like payooneer some send through western union etc. But to have exemption of the income tax remittance 80% should come through banking channel then it will be exempt. Like money come in bank and then change it in pakistani rupees.

We generate leads based on the set criteria and provide excel or Google list with key data points such as Names, Title, Company name, email address, direct dial number, and many other data points.

We convert raw data into useful information by adding additional data from the world wide web-based on the requirements.
