ISLAMABAD: On the instructions of Federal Finance Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, the Finance Division has released a huge amount to the Federal Board of Revenue under the head of ‘Reward and Honorarium’ for its officers and employees.
Chairman FBR Dr. Muhammad Irshad has congratulated all the officers and employees and said it is the right of those officers and staff who have shown excellent performance on the front of revenue collection and for the restoration of the FBR writ as tax authority. Now the FBR employees could celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr in a real manner and with a spirit.
The FBR officers and staff have expressed happiness over the decision of the government and hoped that this tradition will continue in future. Due to late release of reward, field formations have decided that amount of ‘Reward and Honorarium’, instead of paying with salaries, will be paid in cash to them and no other charges will be deducted. The FBR has directed the heads of its all attached departments and field formations that this reward and honorarium will not be given to those officers and employees against whom inquiries are pending or suspended under different charges. Those officers and staff will also be included in this list which did not perform excellently during the whole current financial year under the guidelines of the Federal Board of Revenue.
According to reward and honorarium, grade 17 to 21 officers get amount equal to three to eight salaries and grade 1 to 16 officers get amount equal to 1 to 5 salaries.
