Several officials of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) have failed to declare their assets and liabilities, despite the requirement being part of governance and transparency reforms agreed with the International Monetary Fund.
FBR has completed scrutiny of asset declarations and found that a number of officers did not comply with directives to submit details of their assets and liabilities. The board has now issued a formal communication to all members, chief commissioners, and director generals, directing them to ensure immediate compliance.
Officials have been instructed to submit records of their assets covering the last 10 years of service. In a final notice, the tax authority said several officers were still in violation of the board’s instructions after the scrutiny process was completed.
FBR has set April 24, 2026, as the final deadline for submitting pending declarations up to the year ending June 30, 2025. It warned that failure to comply within the stipulated timeframe would lead to the discontinuation of performance allowances without further notice.
The board also reiterated that a consolidated report on the declaration of assets and liabilities of all officers must be submitted to the Establishment Division.
The development comes as Pakistan continues to implement anti-corruption and transparency reforms under the $7 billion Extended Fund Facility agreed with the IMF.
As part of the reform agenda, public disclosure of senior federal civil servants’ asset declarations is expected to be completed by December 2026.

Why aren’t military and politicians declaring theirs
Have you?
Those who declare should also be rechecked. I bet 95+ percent of them are involved in some kind of corruption.
