Islamabad, July 12, 2024 – The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has directed all BS-21 officers to submit their asset declarations and performance evaluation reports (PERs). This directive applies to officers in the Inland Revenue Service (IRS) and Pakistan Customs Service (PCS).
The FBR’s mandate comes ahead of a forthcoming meeting of the High Power Selection Board (HPSB), which will discuss promotions from BS-21 to BS-22. The submission of PERs and asset declarations up to June 30, 2023, is compulsory for consideration in this promotion process.
“All BS-21 officers of IRS and PCS are advised to ensure that their PERs and Declaration of Assets up to June 30, 2023, are submitted to the FBR by July 12, 2024,” stated the FBR.
This directive emphasizes the importance of compliance to avoid any potential rejection from the promotion process. The BS-22 post represents the highest-ranking position within the FBR, making it crucial for eligible BS-21 officers to adhere to these requirements.
Sources within the FBR highlighted that submitting these documents is not merely procedural but essential for maintaining transparency and accountability within the organization. The FBR aims to ensure that all officers under consideration for promotion have their records in order, reflecting their performance and integrity.
The move underscores the FBR’s commitment to rigorous standards in evaluating officers for the highest positions. It also serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to uphold ethical practices within Pakistan’s tax and customs administration.
As the deadline approaches, BS-21 officers are urged to promptly submit their documents to avoid any adverse impacts on their promotion prospects. The FBR’s insistence on timely and complete submissions reflects the broader goal of fostering a culture of accountability and excellence within its ranks.
The outcome of the HPSB meeting will be closely watched, as it will determine the future leadership within the FBR, impacting its strategic direction and operational effectiveness in the years to come.
