FBR Orders Pending Asset Declarations by March 9

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has formally directed its field formations to ensure that all officers and officials serving in the Inland Revenue Service, Pakistan Customs Service, and allied cadres submit any outstanding Declarations of Assets and Liabilities for periods ending up to June 30, 2025. The deadline for compliance has been set as March 9, 2026.

This directive was conveyed through an urgent internal communication circulated to field offices nationwide, emphasizing strict adherence by personnel functioning under their administrative jurisdiction.

According to FBR, the Establishment Division has reiterated the mandatory disclosure obligations prescribed under Rule 12 of the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1964. These provisions require every government servant to declare their movable and immovable assets at the time of entering public service.

In addition to the initial disclosure, officers are legally obligated to file annual declarations detailing income, assets, and expenditures for each financial year ending June 30. These annual returns must accurately reflect any changes compared to the preceding year’s declaration.

The FBR has further indicated that a consolidated compliance report is to be submitted to the Establishment Division, covering the asset declaration status of FBR officers for the preceding ten years of service.

In light of these requirements, field formations have been instructed to formally advise all concerned officers and officials—including ex-cadre personnel and other staff under their administrative control—to regularize and submit any pending declarations for the period ending June 30, 2025, no later than March 9, 2026.
