Islamabad, April 2, 2026 – The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has carried out a major administrative reshuffle, transferring and posting 38 officers of the Pakistan Customs Service (PCS) across key positions in grades BS-17 to BS-20.
According to an official notification issued on Thursday, the large-scale reshuffle comes at a crucial time as the tax authority enters the final quarter of the fiscal year and continues to face challenges in meeting revenue collection targets.
The restructuring is seen as part of efforts to improve efficiency, strengthen enforcement, and enhance operational performance within Pakistan’s customs and tax administration.
Key Transfers and Postings
Several senior officers have been assigned new responsibilities in important departments across the country. Notable changes include:
• Ms. Muneeza Majeed (BS-20) has been transferred from Director, Directorate of Transit Trade (HQ), Karachi to Director, Directorate of IPR Enforcement (South), Karachi.
• Ms. Zahra Haider (BS-20) has been posted as Director, Directorate of Transit Trade (HQ), Karachi, after previously serving as SA/Collector at the Chief Collector of Customs (Exports & IOCO).
• Mr. Junaid Ahmed Memon (BS-20) has been appointed Collector, Collectorate of Customs (Appeals), Karachi, replacing his previous position as Collector in Gwadar.
• Dr. Karam Elahi (BS-20) has been transferred to Director, Directorate of Intelligence, Peshawar from his previous role in Quetta.
• Mr. Azood-ul-Mehdi (BS-20) has been posted as Director, Directorate General of Law & Prosecution, Islamabad, moving from his role in Lahore.
Strengthening Enforcement and Revenue Collection
The reshuffle reflects the government’s broader strategy to strengthen enforcement mechanisms and streamline operations within the customs department. Officials believe that strategic placements of experienced officers can help curb smuggling, improve compliance, and boost overall revenue collection.
The FBR has been under pressure to meet ambitious tax targets, particularly as Pakistan navigates economic challenges and fiscal constraints. The latest postings are expected to play a role in optimizing performance across customs formations nationwide.
