The government is planning to empower the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to scrutinize and investigate civil servants whose assets appear to exceed their legitimate sources of income, particularly if they continue filing asset declarations for three consecutive years. The development was shared during a briefing to the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Revenue by the Secretary of the Establishment Division and other senior officials. The committee was told that an artificial intelligence-based monitoring system would be introduced to generate red-flag alerts whenever unusual increases in the wealth and assets of government officers are detected.

The development was shared during a briefing to the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Revenue by the Secretary of the Establishment Division and other senior officials. The committee was told that an artificial intelligence-based monitoring system would be introduced to generate red-flag alerts whenever unusual increases in the wealth and assets of government officers are detected.

Establishment Division Secretary Nabeel Awan informed lawmakers that, starting from December 2026, the asset and financial details of all government officers from Grade 17 to Grade 22 would be made publicly available through a digital declaration system being developed in consultation with the FBR.

Under the proposed framework, civil servants will also be required to disclose details of their family assets as well as their foreign travel.

Senior FBR officials, including the chairman and member inland revenue, will be authorized to initiate investigations if the AI-based scrutiny identifies suspicious or abnormal growth in assets.

The proposed system is aimed at strengthening transparency and improving oversight of public officials’ finances through digital monitoring and automated risk detection.
