ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has dismissed three employees of Regional Tax Office, Faisalabad from service on corruption charges.
Information available with this scribe shows that the FBR has issued dismissal orders in accordance with Efficiency and Discipline Rules, 1973, after the employees’ official misconduct was confirmed during an official inquiry. A criminal investigation was underway against these employees and an FIR was also registered against them.
The employees were involved in corruption as well as burning the official record, sources said. The dismissed officials include UDC Jhang Zone Abid Iqbal, Notice Server Javaid Masih and Chowkidar Manzoor Qadir. Another employee Chowkidar Aslam Pervaiz has been suspended for a period of three months.
In a separate Notification, FBR (HQ) has placed Syed Muhammad Salman Bukhari, Appraising Officer, Model Customs Collectorate, Gwadar and Maqbool Ahmad, IRO, RTO Faisalabad under suspension for a period of three months.

Good joke.
