Join GCCI
Any business with its principal place of business in the Chamber’s area can apply. Check which class fits your firm, gather the documents, then apply online in the member portal — or tell us you are interested and the membership desk will contact you.
Step one
Both classes receive the same services and privileges. They differ only in the membership fee and in voting rights at Chamber elections.
A body corporate or multinational with a head or branch office in Pakistan, or a sales-tax-registered manufacturing or business concern with annual turnover of at least Rs 50 million — in trade, commerce, manufacturing, industry, transport, banking, insurance, accountancy, mining or any other lawful business — whose principal place of business is within the Chamber’s jurisdiction.
Any business that does not meet the Corporate criteria, engaged in trade, commerce, agriculture, mining, manufacturing or any other lawful business; and persons with expert knowledge of accounts, trade, finance, industry, transport or agriculture — provided the principal place of business is within the Chamber’s jurisdiction.
Step two
The typical list. The portal shows the exact checklist for your class and type of business, and accepts scans, photos and PDFs.

Prefer paper? The new membership form can be downloaded and submitted at the Chamber. Forms & downloads
Register in the member portal with the CNIC of the person who will represent the firm and a mobile number. A one-time code confirms the number; you then set your own password.
Enter the firm’s details, its proprietor, partners or directors, and the authorised representative, with photographs. Your work is saved as you go. Name a proposer and a seconder who are existing members.
Upload the documents on the checklist and pay the membership fee for your class. An application cannot be submitted until every mandatory document is in place.
The membership desk checks each document against the details you entered and approves it, rejects it with a reason, or asks for a re-upload. You are told of every decision by SMS or email.
On approval the firm receives its membership number and a certificate carrying a QR code, which anyone can scan to confirm the firm’s class, validity and status.
Not ready to apply?
Leave your details and the membership desk will contact you to explain the class, the documents and the fee that apply to your firm. This is not an application; it does not create a membership.
Create your account with the representative’s CNIC and mobile number, and start the application. It saves as you go.
