Central Board of Revenue Pakistan in Pakistan Directory

 

The Central Board of Revenue was created on April 01, 1924 through 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 upto 31st August, 1960 when on the recommendations of the Administrative Re-organization Committee, CBR 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 CBR, was created with the status of ex-officio Additional Secretary and Secretary Finance was relieved of his duties as ex-officio Chairman of the Board. 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, it was decided to restore the status of the CBR as a Division under the Ministry of Finance. Thus, Revenue Division was re-created on October 22, 1991. This experiment continued for a short period. In January, 1995, Revenue Division was abolished and CBR reverted back to the pre-1991 position. However, from December 01, 1998, Revenue Division was once again re-created and it continues to exist as such.
