KARACHI: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has been facing impediments in its revenue recovery operations due to incompetency of Directorate of Post Clearance Audit (PCA).
Talking to Customs Today, experts from Pakistan Customs were of the view that the PCA was one of the significant departments of FBR, however; not proper functional now.
“The shortage of man-power and lack of interest of the high authorities of FBR was affecting the performance of the Directorate of PCA” they argued.
Moreover, experts said, many important seats were vacant including Appraisers, Principal Appraisers, Assistant Directors and Deputy Directors in the Directorate of Post Clearance Audit (PCA).
Furthermore, they maintained that the responsibilities performed by Research and Development (R&D) Section of MCC Appraisement -East and Post Clearance Verification (PRV) Section of MCC Appraisement -West should also be improved further to Enhance the revenue recovery operations.
It may be mentioned here that the Directorate of PCA was proper operational two years ago, however; FBR limits its powers after getting complaints about mishandling of powers by PCA officials.
