The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has launched an Internal Job Posting (IJP) process to appoint Inspectors in Inland Revenue, while also approving a performance-based allowance for selected officers starting January 2026, aiming to improve efficiency and discipline within the tax system.
According to official sources, 24 Inspectors from different Regional Tax Offices have been selected under the IJP scheme. The process allows experienced officers within FBR to move into key operational roles based on performance and internal assessment, rather than fresh recruitment.
FBR has approved a performance allowance for these officers, effective from January 2026. The allowance will be governed by strict rules related to attendance, discipline, and professional conduct. Officials confirmed that any involvement in misconduct, corruption, or serious disciplinary violations may result in the withdrawal of the allowance within one month.
The allowance framework will follow the guidelines issued under the 2015 FBR circular, which was introduced to link financial incentives with measurable performance. The policy is part of FBR’s broader reforms to strengthen internal accountability, improve tax collection, and discourage corruption.
The development comes amid FBR’s ongoing enforcement actions, including the sealing of sugar mills and other businesses over tax irregularities. These steps reflect the authority’s push to tighten compliance and restore confidence in the revenue system.
Officials said the IJP initiative and performance-based incentives are expected to boost employee motivation, improve service delivery, and enhance discipline across tax offices nationwide.
