ByIslamabad, Pakistan: In a major reshuffle, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has transferred over 160 officers working in the Collectorate of Customs Enforcement (Ports), Karachi. Two separate notifications were issued on December 12, 2024, detailing the transfers which are effective immediately and until further orders.
The reasons behind this large-scale reshuffle are not explicitly stated in the notifications. However, such personnel changes within the FBR are not uncommon and are often undertaken to improve efficiency, address corruption concerns, or promote a culture of transparency.
The notifications list over 54 and 109 officers who have been transferred from the Collectorate of Customs Enforcement (Ports) to the Collectorate of Customs Enforcement, both located in Karachi. These transfers likely involve both senior and junior officials, impacting various departments and units within the customs enforcement structure.
The impact of these transfers on the day-to-day operations of the Karachi Customs Enforcement remains to be seen. While some disruptions are inevitable during such reshuffles, the FBR presumably aims to achieve a positive outcome through these personnel changes.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness of such reshuffles depends on a variety of factors, including the experience and qualifications of the transferred officers, as well as the overall management practices within the FBR.
