Government extends civil servants' asset declaration deadline to November 30
The Establishment Division set the new date with the Prime Minister's approval and allowed corrections to filed declarations until December 31, 2026.
The federal government has extended to November 30, 2026 the deadline for civil servants to submit their declarations of assets for the financial year 2025-26 through the Federal Board of Revenue's digital portal.
The Establishment Division announced the extension in an office memorandum issued with the approval of the Prime Minister, in relaxation of Rule 12(6) of the Civil Servants (Conduct) Rules, 2026.
The earlier deadline had been communicated in an office memorandum dated September 16, 2026. The division has now moved that date to the end of November.
A second deadline was extended alongside it. Civil servants who need to correct a declaration they have already filed can do so until December 31, 2026, subject to the approval of the cadre administrator of the service they belong to.
The division has written to all ministries, divisions and cadre administrators, asking them to issue instructions to the officers under their administrative control so that the declarations are submitted digitally within the new window. The responsibility for passing the instruction down the chain sits with each ministry and cadre administrator, not with the officers individually.
Business Recorder reported that the September 16 memorandum was the original communication to the services, and that the December 31 date applies to corrections only, with the cadre administrator's consent required before a filed declaration can be amended.
ProPakistani, in its headline, described the extension as a final chance for bureaucrats to declare their assets, without carrying the correction window or the date of the original memorandum in the text available.
Asset declarations by public servants are a standing requirement under the conduct rules, and the shift to the FBR portal means the forms are now filed digitally rather than on paper. The office memorandum does not set out any reason for the extension beyond the Prime Minister's approval and the rule relaxation. Civil servants covered by the 2026 rules now have until November 30 to file, and, if a filing needs amendment, until the last day of December to seek the correction through their cadre administrator.
How the reports differ
Business Recorder alone carried the date of the original office memorandum, September 16, 2026, and the December 31 window for corrections, which it said requires the cadre administrator's approval. ProPakistani framed the extension in its headline as a final chance for bureaucrats to declare their assets. The text of the ProPakistani report available did not repeat the correction deadline or the original memorandum date.
