Introduction In the bureaucratic and tax administration framework of Pakistan, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) stands as the apex body responsible for collecting federal revenues, including direct and indirect taxes.

The IRS comprises a specialized group of gazetted officers who manage Income Tax, Sales Tax, and Federal Excise Duty.
Syed Masood Ali Shah vs. FBR (2018 FST) – The tribunal ordered revision of BS-20 seniority list because an officer’s seniority was wrongly computed ignoring his continuous service in a provincial revenue department before CSS. Part 6: Understanding the Difference – IRS Seniority vs. Customs Seniority Many FBR watchers confuse “Seniority list of IRS officers” with the seniority list of the Pakistan Customs Service. Here’s a quick differentiation:
No. Seniority is national-level, not zone-based.
Look for “CSS Batch-45” or “Common-48.” Officers of an older batch will be higher up.
Only if the senior officer is unfit (on E&D proceedings) or has refused promotion in writing. Otherwise, it is illegal.
