Several senior officials of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) have failed to declare their assets and liabilities, despite clear directives issued under ongoing transparency reforms linked to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) program.
According to officials, the FBR recently completed scrutiny of asset declarations and found that a number of officers did not comply with mandatory requirements. In response, the board has issued formal instructions to all members, chief commissioners, and director generals to ensure immediate submission of complete records.
Authorities have directed officers to provide details of their assets covering the last 10 years of service. A final notice issued by the FBR warned that several officials remain in violation even after the scrutiny process.
The tax authority has set April 24, 2026, as the final deadline for submitting pending declarations for the year ending June 30, 2025. It cautioned that failure to comply within the stipulated timeframe will result in the suspension of performance allowances without further notice.
The FBR also instructed that a consolidated report on the asset declarations of all officers be submitted to the Establishment Division for review.
The development comes as Pakistan continues to implement governance, anti-corruption, and transparency reforms under the $7 billion Extended Fund Facility agreed with the IMF. As part of these reforms, public disclosure of asset declarations of senior federal civil servants is expected to be completed by December 2026.
