The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has directed the relevant authorities to submit comprehensive data on government employees by October 27, 2026, including details of recruitment under reserved quotas for women, minorities and persons with disabilities.
According to an official circular, the FBR has sought employee records up to July 1, 2026, along with details of women recruited on merit, including their numbers and designations, and appointments made under the 10% quota reserved for women.
The department has also requested details of positions allocated under the 5% quota for minorities, including the total number of sanctioned posts, filled positions and vacancies. Similarly, information regarding the 2% quota reserved for persons with disabilities has been sought.
The FBR has declared the matter extremely urgent and directed the relevant officers to ensure the timely submission of the required information. Separately, the FBR has expressed concern over a delay of more than four months in receiving records concerning urban and rural quota positions allocated to Sindh. The department noted that the required information had not been provided despite repeated reminders.
In this regard, the FBR has issued an urgent directive to the Chief Commissioner Inland Revenue in Karachi, instructing Corporate Tax Office-I, Karachi, to submit the required information by October 23, 2026. The records of vacant positions under the Sindh urban and rural quotas will subsequently be forwarded to the Establishment Division. The FBR has also directed the authorities to submit a report even if no vacancies exist.
