FBR has replaced manual asset declarations with an online system requiring BS-17 and above officers to disclose income, assets and liabilities.
The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has directed all officers in BS-17 and above to submit their income, assets and liabilities declarations through a dedicated online portal, replacing the existing manual process.
FBR sets October 30 deadline for declarations
According to an FBR circular issued on September 21, 2026, the directive follows an Office Memorandum issued by the Establishment Division on September 16 concerning the digitisation of asset declarations under Section 15-A of the Civil Servants Act, 1973.
All officers belonging to the Inland Revenue Service (IRS), Pakistan Customs Service (PCS) and Ex-Cadre groups in BS-17 and above who are serving under the administrative control of FBR have been directed to submit their Declaration of Assets and Liabilities for the year ended June 30, 2026, by October 30, 2026.
The digitised system is being implemented by the Establishment Division in collaboration with FBR for the submission, verification and publication of income and asset declarations of civil servants in BS-17 and above.
How officers can submit asset declarations online
Under the new system, officers must provide their name, designation, personal email address, mobile number and CNIC to their respective Cadre Administrator so that an account can be created on the FBR portal.
The email address must be personal and should not be changed because of an official posting.
Once the Cadre Administrator forwards the required information to FBR and the account is created, the officer will receive an intimation through email, SMS or another designated channel.
Officers can then activate their accounts by entering their CNIC on the portal’s login screen and selecting the “Forgot Password” option to receive a one-time password (OTP).
The OTP will allow the officer to create a personal password and access the online declaration section.
After logging in, officers will find a “Declaration” field on the portal dashboard. They must provide the required information through the relevant screens before submitting the declaration.
FBR will conduct risk-based checks on the information submitted and communicate the results to the relevant Cadre Administrator.
Personal and income information required
The digitised declaration will cover extensive personal, service and financial information.
Officers will be required to provide details including:
• Name and CNIC
• NTN, where available
• Occupational group or service
• Basic pay scale
• Ministry or division
• Position held
• Date of joining service
• Marital status
• Number of dependants
• Permanent and current residential addresses
• Mobile number and email address
• Details of spouse and dependants
The income section will require officers to disclose their sources of income, as well as the income of their spouses and dependants.
The system will also require details of expenditure, including utility bills, private foreign travel, children’s education, club memberships and other expenses.
Assets, liabilities and net worth
The online declaration will require comprehensive details of both immovable and movable assets.
For agricultural, residential and commercial properties, officers will have to provide ownership details, locations or addresses, acquisition dates and values.
The system will also cover:
• Local and foreign bank accounts
• Investments and securities
• Shares
• Prize bonds
• Mutual funds
• Vehicles
• Precious possessions
• Assets held as an attorney
Officers will also have to disclose their liabilities, including departmental liabilities, bank loans, mortgages, overdrafts, private loans, credit liabilities and other outstanding obligations.
For each loan or liability, information will be required on its purpose, the amount paid during the year and the outstanding balance.
The system will further require officers to declare their net worth and explain any variation between the current year’s net worth and the previous year’s figure.
Selected asset information to be published
The Establishment Division said selected non-sensitive portions of officers’ asset declarations would be published on the FBR website for public information.
Officers will be able to review the information proposed for publication on the portal before submitting their declarations.
The memorandum stressed that officers must ensure the information submitted is accurate and complete.
Any misstatement, concealment or failure to submit the declaration may result in disciplinary action under the applicable rules.
Corrections allowed until November 30
Declarations must be submitted within the prescribed deadline. However, officers will be able to make corrections to information submitted through the portal until November 30, 2026, subject to approval or authorisation by the relevant Cadre Administrator.
After submission, the declaration will appear in the portal’s “Submitted Tasks” section.
Officers must disclose social media accounts
The digitised system will also require officers to disclose their social media accounts and any foreign nationality or permanent residency (PR), where applicable.
Officers may also be required to provide any other information specified through the online portal.
The Establishment Division said technical or other problems encountered during the submission process should be reported to the relevant Cadre Administrator, who may coordinate with the designated FBR focal person.
The move marks a significant transition from manual declarations to a centralised digital system for recording, verifying and selectively publishing income and asset declarations submitted by senior civil servants.
