Introduction to FBR

The Central Board of Revenue (CBR) was created on April 01, 1924 through enactment of the Central Board of Revenue
Act, 1924. In 1944, a full-fledged Revenue Division was created under the Ministry of Finance. After independence, this
arrangement continued up to 31st August 1960 when on the recommendations of the Administrative Re-organization
Committee, FBR was made an attached department of the Ministry of Finance. In 1974, further changes were made to
streamline the organization and its functions. Consequently, the post of Chairman FBR was created with the status of ex-
officio Additional Secretary and Secretary Finance was relieved of his duties as ex-officio Chairman of the FBR.

In order to remove impediments in the exercise of administrative powers of a Secretary to the Government and effective
formulation and implementation of fiscal policy measures, the status of FBR as a Revenue Division was restored under the
Ministry of Finance on October 22, 1991. However, the Revenue Division was abolished in January 1995, and FBR reverted
back to the pre-1991 position. The Revenue Division continues to exist since from December 01, 1998.
