Inspector General of Sindh Police, Javed Alam Odho, has issued a directive to all Grade 17 and above police officers to declare their assets and income details through the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) portal. This move is part of the federal government's new digital declaration system.
The directive, dated October 9, 2026, mandates that additional inspectors general, deputy inspectors general, senior superintendents of police, and superintendents of police must submit their declarations for the 2025-26 financial year by October 30, 2026.
The new system replaces the previous manual process and requires officers to provide comprehensive details, including income, bank accounts, properties, investments, and movable and immovable assets. Officers are also required to disclose assets owned by their spouses, vehicles, shares, prize bonds, domestic and foreign bank accounts, and other valuable holdings.
In addition to financial details, officers must disclose their own income as well as the income of family members. They will also be required to provide information on their children’s education, educational institutions, and related expenses. Other details to be declared include electricity and gas bills, spending on private foreign travel, bank loans, and other liabilities.
Officers are expected to explain any changes in the value of their assets compared with the previous financial year. Authorities have also sought details of social media accounts and any foreign citizenship or permanent residency held by officers.
The FBR will scrutinize the submitted information, and officers may face disciplinary action for concealing or misrepresenting details. Failure to submit declarations by the deadline may also lead to disciplinary proceedings. Officials will be allowed to make corrections until November 30, 2026, subject to approval from the relevant cadre administrator.
Selected non-sensitive information from the declarations will also be published on the FBR website for public access. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and accountability within the police force, ensuring that all senior officers comply with the new regulations.
The directive emphasizes the importance of accurate and timely declarations, highlighting the potential consequences for non-compliance. The FBR portal serves as a platform for officers to submit their declarations, ensuring a streamlined and efficient process.
