Large-scale reshuffle includes BS-18 to BS-20 IRS officers, with new appointments across FBR Headquarters, RTOs, LTOs, CTOs, and directorates nationwide.
The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has carried out a significant reshuffle of officers belonging to the Inland Revenue Service (IRS), announcing the transfer and posting of 80 officers in BS-18 to BS-20 with immediate effect. The decision was issued through an official notification dated July 31, 2026, as part of the Board’s routine administrative restructuring aimed at strengthening tax administration across the country.
The transfers cover officers serving at the FBR Headquarters, Regional Tax Offices (RTOs), Corporate Tax Offices (CTOs), Large Taxpayers Offices (LTOs), and various directorates operating in different cities.
Among the most notable appointments, Ms. Farhat Qayum (BS-20) has been transferred from her position as Chief at FBR Headquarters, Islamabad, and posted as Director General (OPS), Anti Benami Initiatives, Islamabad. According to the notification, she has been directed to assume charge of her new assignment on August 6, 2026.
The latest reshuffle also includes the transfer of several Chief Commissioners, Commissioners, Directors, Additional Commissioners, and Secretaries, with officers assigned to new roles across major tax formations throughout the country.
The administrative changes span a wide range of FBR offices located in Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Quetta, Multan, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Sialkot, Abbottabad, Bahawalpur, and several other stations.
In addition to regular transfers, the Board has entrusted a number of officers with look-after responsibilities and additional charge of key positions under the applicable government rules to ensure continuity in tax administration.
The notification clarifies that officers who were already receiving performance allowance before the issuance of the transfer orders will continue to receive the same allowance at their new places of posting. This measure ensures that eligible officers retain their existing benefits despite their change in assignment.
Furthermore, all transferred officers have been instructed to submit charge relinquishment and assumption reports immediately after taking over their new responsibilities. These reports will be maintained as part of the official record and will facilitate the completion of administrative formalities.
The transfer orders include several senior BS-20 officers, including Ms. Farhat Qayum, Mr. Adnan Inamullah Khan, Ms. Sumbal Agha, Ms. Fiza Batool, Dr. Muhammad Aslam Mari, Ms. Uzma Saqib, Ms. Fauzia Adil, Mr. Hammal Baloch, Mr. Shaheed Mehboob, Ms. Iram Shabbir, Mr. Sajjad Amjad, Ms. Uzma Munir, Ms. Yasmin Yusuf Khan, Mr. Shaukat Hayat, and Mr. Muhammad Asif, along with dozens of officers in BS-18 and BS-19.
The large-scale reshuffle reflects the FBR’s ongoing efforts to streamline operations, strengthen institutional capacity, and improve tax administration through strategic deployment of experienced Inland Revenue officers across Pakistan.
