The FBR warning letter states, “A number of officers have requested for extension in deadline for filing of declaration of assets. Therefore, the competent authority has extended the date for filing of declaration of assets till February 25, 2014. It is also intimated that the performance allowance of officers who fail to submit their declaration of assets up to June 30, 2013 and earlier years will be discontinued/de-notified after the said deadline and action will also be taken as per para 12 of Government Servants (Conduct Rules, 1964), read with Sl.
