FBR Forces All BPS-17 Officers & SOEs to Publicly Declare Assets

ISLAMABAD: FBR has detonated a transparency bomb — all BPS-17+ officers across federal, provincial, autonomous bodies, SOEs, and government-linked firms must now publicly expose their assets, Dawn reports. SRO 2263 issued Thursday rips up the old 2023 Rules, delivering IMF-mandated full disclosure: citizens can now track every rupee an officer owns from day one in service. The net just got massive — no more hiding behind SOEs or provincial shields. Only NAB-protected officials escape the spotlight. Previously, just a tiny slice under the 1973 Civil Servants Act had to declare. Now uniform accountability slams the entire public sector.
