ISLAMABAD: A day after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif suspended some senior officials of the Inland Revenue Service and Customs Service, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) hierarchy also saw a major reshuffle on Friday.

Twelve officers were transferred to the FBR’s administration pool, while four deputationists were repatriated to their original department.

Earlier this week, PM Shehbaz had taken notice of a willful delay in tax cases and ordered the suspension of the Islamabad inland revenue commissioner and other relevant officials.

He also asked for initiating an inquiry against the officials, the Prime Minister Office said in a press release.
