ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has taken back power of transfer and posting officers and officials of any grade from chief commissioners, chief collectors and director generals.
The FBR nominated the authorised officers exercising the powers conferred by Section 2(3) of Government Servants (Efficiency & Discipline) Rules, 1973.
As the FBR notification, Member Admin is authorised to notify transfers and postings of officers of Grade-17 to Grade-19 while officials in BS-01 to BS-16 will be moved by Chief Management-FBR of Inland Revenue and Chief Management-FBR of Customs.
The measure is taken to eliminate the undue influence of chief commissioners, chief collectors and director generals over the field staff.
However, chief commissioners, chief collectors and director generals would remain the authorised authority when it comes to ex-Pakistan leave of BS-16 to BS-19 officials/officers for Hajj and Umrah; recreational leave for field formations and maternity leave for field formations. However, a copy of the orders in this respect would have to be furnished to FBR.
All the disciplinary cases of BS-16 officials initiated at FBR level prior to issuance of this notification, will be dealt by the concerned authorised officers as per notification no 1014-M.III/2010 dated April 20, 2010.
