Karachi, January 28, 2025 – The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has initiated a comprehensive data collection process for officials serving in the Inland Revenue (IR) department. This move aims to compile and submit detailed records to the high-powered committee overseeing the rightsizing of the federal government.
To facilitate this initiative, the FBR issued an official directive on Tuesday, instructing all Chief Commissioners of Inland Revenue (IR) and Directors General (IR) to provide necessary details regarding employees serving under various contractual arrangements.
According to the FBR, contract employees appointed under the Prime Minister’s Assistance Package (PMAP) of 2006 and 2015 have already been regularized as per the Establishment Division’s Policy dated December 23, 2022. However, those recruited under the Contract Policy of March 21, 2000, which was later amended through an Establishment Division order (OM No. 4/1/2005-CP-I) on April 13, 2005, have yet to be regularized and continue to serve on contract.
In compliance with the directives of the High-Powered Committee on Rightsizing of the Federal Government, which operates under the leadership of the Minister for Finance & Revenue, the FBR has requested the submission of separate lists of employees currently employed on a contract or daily wage basis. The required information must be structured in the following format:
| S.# | Name | Designation/BPS (if on contract) | Date of initial appointment on contract/daily wages | Latest extension period of contract/daily wages | Relevant rules/regulations governing appointment |
| 1 |
The FBR has mandated that all relevant data must be submitted within a week. Additionally, every head of field formation is required to comply with this directive within the prescribed timeline, even if no employees fall under the contractual or daily wage category, in which case they must explicitly report a NIL response.
This step reflects the FBR’s commitment to streamlining government operations and ensuring a more structured and efficient workforce management system.
