The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has commissioned the Intelligence Bureau (IB) to gather data on Grade 19, 20, and 21 employees, sources informed ProPakistani. According to sources familiar with the matter, the intelligence agency has already started making inquiries with employees’ offices and families. FBR intends to devise performance reports on the professional conduct and financial integrity of its employees, particularly those in grades 19, 20, and 21. Sources said the aim is to assess their performance and integrity thoroughly. Upon completion of the investigation, employees will be categorized into groups A, B, and C, based on the findings.
