The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has issued a critical directive to all BS-21 officers (Inland Revenue Service & Pakistan Customs Service) vying for promotion to BS-22. These officers must submit their asset declarations and performance evaluation reports (PERs) by July 12, 2024.
Why the Deadline?
This directive comes ahead of a crucial High Power Selection Board (HPSB) meeting where promotions from BS-21 to BS-22 will be decided. Meeting this deadline ensures all eligible officers are considered for promotion.
BS-22: The Highest Rank
The BS-22 position represents the pinnacle of the FBR’s hierarchy. FBR emphasizes the importance of complete documentation to ensure only qualified and transparent candidates are promoted to these leadership roles.
Importance of Transparency and Accountability
The FBR highlights the significance of this exercise in upholding transparency and accountability within the organization. Scrutiny of both performance and financial disclosures helps ensure promotions are based on merit.
What it Means for BS-21 Officers?
BS-21 officers should prioritize submitting their documents by the deadline to avoid jeopardizing their promotion chances. This emphasizes the FBR’s commitment to a rigorous evaluation process for its most senior positions.
Looking Ahead: Impact on FBR’s Future
The HPSB meeting’s outcome will significantly impact the FBR’s leadership and future direction. Selecting qualified and ethical leaders is crucial for the organization’s continued effectiveness in tax and customs administration.
