Federal Government Extends Deadline for Civil Servants to File Asset Declarations via FBR Portal

The federal government has given civil servants more time to digitally submit their Declarations of Assets for the financial year 2025-26 through the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) portal, extending the deadline to November 30, 2026. The decision was conveyed through an Office Memorandum issued by the Establishment Division on November 12.

According to the memorandum, the extension was approved by the Prime Minister and granted as a relaxation of Rule 12(6) of the Civil Servants (Conduct) Rules, 2026. The earlier deadline had been communicated through a separate memorandum issued on September 16, 2026.

Officers who need to amend their filings have also been given additional time. Corrections can be submitted until December 31, 2026, but each correction must first be approved by the officer's respective Cadre Administrator before it is uploaded.

The Establishment Division has directed all federal ministries, divisions and Cadre Administrators to instruct officers under their administrative control to file their asset declarations digitally on the FBR portal within the extended timeframe. Civil servants who have not yet filed now have until the end of November to submit their declarations online, and a further month to address any errors with their administrator's approval.

The shift toward digital filing of officers' assets has been on the government's agenda for some time. ProPakistani previously reported that the move to require civil servants to declare their assets online came in response to a key demand from the International Monetary Fund, while it later emerged that the government will not fully disclose civil servants' assets to the public.

The latest extension gives officials additional room to comply with the digital process while retaining administrative oversight over any changes to their declarations.
