LAHORE: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has ordered the Inland Revenue Service and Customs Service officers of BS-17 and above To submit detailed information of dual without fail or face departmental proceedings.
Earlier the FBR forwarded a letter to all the officers of Inland Revenue and Customs departments through a letter issued on January 31st but some departments have yet not responded the letters.
FBR strictly warned the heads of departments informing them to take the instructions seriously or be ready to face the consequences.
It may be mentioned that the Senate in 2015 had approved an amendment envisaging a ban on holding dual nationality by judges, armed forces personnel and government officials but so far it has not been implemented in letter and spirit and the chief justice has to take action on this issue to ensure implementation on this important issue. According to reports, there is already a ban on holding of dual nationality by the personnel of armed forces under the military rules.
