MULTAN: The employees of Model Customs Collectorate Multan have shown serious concerns over the discontinuation of special performance allowance despite filing the assets declaration to the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
As per details, the FBR has recently suspended the allowance of as many as 806 employees for not filing the assets declaration as they had been urged by the department time and again to follow the orders. However, 91 employees of the MCC Multan have been deprived of their allowances for three months.
Sources added that about 91 employees of BS-16 consist of 81 inspectors, six deputy superintendents and four examiners of Multan region had already declared their assets following the instructions of the department, adding that the employees were much worried about the decision of the department.
When Customs Today contacted Deputy Collector Headquarter Farhat Ali to know about the discontinuation of special performance allowance of Multan Customs’ employees, she confirmed that employees of this region have completed their declaration of assets and it might be overlooked from the competent authority due to workload.
She further told that concerns of the employees were being issued to competent authority on the direction of collector of MCC Multan.
It is pertinent to mention here that filing of declaration of assets at the close of each financial year is mandatory for every government servant under the government servant Rules,1964 and the officers who fail to discharge their part of obligation are guilty of “misconduct” as defined in the Government Servants (E&D) Rules,1973.
Moreover, completion of declaration of assets is also pre-requisite for entitlement of 100 percent performance allowance as per board’s circular No.1 of 2015 vide C.No6(96)S(BIC)/2013-14 dated 06-03-2015.
