FBR Announces 2 Years of Salary As Reward for Hard Working Officers

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has approved an increase in the reward ceiling for Inland Revenue officials from 18 to 24 salaries for meritorious services.

In this regard, the FBR has approved key amendments to the Inland Revenue Reward Rules, 2021, raising the upper limit for meritorious rewards and introducing a new evaluation mechanism for ex-cadre officers and staff.

The decisions were taken during the third meeting of the FBR Board-in-Council for fiscal year 2025-26, held at the FBR Headquarters in Islamabad under the chairmanship of the FBR Chairman.

Senior board members attended the meeting, while three members were granted leave of absence.

According to sources, the Board unanimously approved enhancing the maximum reward limit from 18 salaries to 24 salaries per financial year. The amendment applies to employees covered under Rule 6 of the Inland Revenue Reward Rules.

The Board also reviewed the proposed evaluation criteria for officers and staff. The Member (Admin & HR) briefed the meeting, noting that the revised reward framework would categorize ex-cadre officers (BS-16 and above) and staff (BS-1 to BS-15) into performance tiers determining quarterly reward eligibility. A weighted assessment mechanism involving commissioners, committees, and senior members will be implemented to ensure transparency.

During the meeting, some members proposed revisiting the weightage assigned to the Assessment Committee. However, most members, including the Chairman, endorsed the proposed procedure. It was also agreed that the new system would be fully IT-based, with PRAL instructed to deploy the digital framework within seven days.

The Board further noted that the Customs Reward Rules, 2012 already allow rewards of up to 36 months’ basic salary and therefore require no amendment at this stage.

While the Board did not support excluding cadre officers from the reward structure, it decided that the matter of exceptional performance rewards for cadre officers would be taken up separately in the next meeting.
