Islamabad, March 2, 2026 – The Establishment Division has directed all officers of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to submit complete declarations of their assets and liabilities for the past ten years, in a major move aimed at strengthening transparency, accountability, and compliance with statutory rules governing government servants.
According to an official circular issued by the FBR, the Establishment Division has reminded officers of the mandatory requirements laid down under Rule 12 of the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964, which govern the disclosure of assets by government employees.
Under these rules, every government servant is required, at the time of entering government service, to submit a declaration of all movable and immovable assets, including shares, certificates, securities, insurance policies, jewellery, and any other valuables owned or held by the officer or their family members. In addition, officers must submit an annual declaration of income, assets, and expenses for each financial year ending on June 30, clearly indicating any increase or decrease in property compared to the previous declaration.
Consolidated report to be submitted
The circular further states that a consolidated report on the completion of asset declarations of all FBR officers over the last ten years must be furnished to the Establishment Division. This report will serve as an official record to ensure compliance and to identify any gaps in past submissions.
In view of this directive, the FBR has instructed all formations to ensure that officers and officials belonging to the Inland Revenue Service (IRS), Pakistan Customs Service (PCS), ex-cadre staff, and other employees under their administrative control submit their missing declarations of assets and liabilities.
Deadline set for March 9, 2026
All concerned officers have been directed to submit their pending declarations for the period ending June 30, 2025, no later than March 9, 2026. The FBR has stressed that the deadline must be followed strictly to avoid administrative action.
Strengthening accountability framework
Officials said the initiative is part of broader efforts to reinforce transparency, curb corruption, and enhance public trust in tax administration. By ensuring strict compliance with asset disclosure rules, the authorities aim to promote integrity, financial discipline, and accountability within the revenue machinery.
The move is expected to have wide-ranging implications across the FBR, as thousands of officers and staff members will need to reconcile and submit detailed financial records covering an entire decade of service.
