  "account": "An official document has revealed that at least 16 senior Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) officers possess either dual nationality or permanent residence outside Pakistan, according to ProPakistani. Among them are ten officers from the Inland Revenue Services and six from the Pakistan Customs Services, spanning the ranks of BS-17 to BS-21, including one official at the highest level. This disclosure follows the FBR's recent directive to all officers and employees to disclose any foreign citizenship, passports, travel documents, and marital ties to foreign nationals. The list includes notable figures such as Sajjad Taslim Azam (BS-21), Amna Faiz Bhatti (BS-20), Shazia Memon (BS-20), and several others from both departments. The Civil Servants (Disclosure and Regulation of Foreign Nationality) Rules, 2026, mandated that all FBR officers submit information on foreign nationality within 90 days of the FBR circular dated September 6, 2026, with the deadline passing on August 30, 2026. Officials yet to comply have been urged to submit their information promptly.",
