The federal cabinet on Tuesday approved Muhammad Javed Ghani’s appointment as the Federal Board of Revenue’s (FBR) permanent chairperson.
The approval came during a meeting chaired by Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan.
It may be noted here that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led government had appointed Ghani for a three-month period after removing his predecessor Nausheen Javed Amjad from the post in July this year.
Nausheen had been appointed the FBR’s chairperson in April 2020 in the absence of the former chief Shabbar Zaidi, who had gone on an indefinite leave citing health issues in January.
Ghani, a BS-22 officer of the Pakistan Customs Service also holds the position of the Revenue Division’s secretary. He graduated from the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom (UK) with a Master of Law (LLM) degree, specialising in International Economic Law.
