ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has developed a code of conduct to discourage those officers who avoid attending management courses.
According to the code of conduct, if any officer avoids the management course this would be considered inefficiency and the officer would be removed from the existing posting. However, grade-20 officer of over 58 years of age is exempted from the NMC. But, for officers of less than 58 years of age, it is mandatory to join the management course.
Sources said that in order to be promoted into higher grades, grade-18 officers go to Mid Carrier Management Course (MCMC), grade-19 officers go to Senior Management Course (SMC) and grade-20 officers go to National Management Course (NMC). The Establishment Division nominated officers. It is mandatory for FBR officers of Inland Revenue Services (IRS) and Pakistan Customs Services (PCS) to attend these courses.
