Islamabad, December 3, 2025 – The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced a major administrative reshuffle, appointing senior Inland Revenue Service (IRS) officer Zubair Bilal (BS-21) as Member Inland Revenue (IR) Operations with immediate effect.
The decision was notified on Wednesday as part of a broader set of high-level transfers and postings aimed at strengthening the revenue administration system.
Zubair Bilal, who previously served as Chief Commissioner of the Large Taxpayers Office (LTO) Karachi, has earned recognition for efficiently managing the country’s biggest revenue-generating field formation. His leadership at LTO Karachi contributed significantly to FBR’s overall tax collection performance, making him a strong choice for the strategic IR Operations role.
Alongside his appointment, the FBR has also implemented several key transfers. Shabih-ul-Ajaz, a BS-20 IRS officer, has been posted as the new Chief Commissioner IR, LTO Karachi, replacing Bilal. In another administrative adjustment, Javed Iqbal Sheikh, IRS BS-20 and Commissioner Zone IV at LTO Karachi, has been assigned the additional charge of Commissioner (Refunds), LTO Karachi, further enhancing oversight in refund-related matters.
Moreover, Nisar Ahmed Burki, IRS BS-19, has been transferred from his position as Additional Commissioner LTO Karachi to serve as Commissioner IR (OPS) Zone-I, LTO Karachi.
The FBR clarified that all officers drawing performance allowance prior to the notification will continue to receive the allowance at their new postings. The officers have been instructed to immediately submit their charge assumption and relinquishment reports to the FBR for official record and subsequent processing.
