On Wednesday, the federal government announced the appointment of Rashid Mahmood Langriyal as the new Chairman of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). This announcement was confirmed with the issuance of an official notification.
Langriyal, a Grade 21 officer, previously held the position of Secretary of the Power Division. His appointment to the role of FBR Chairman comes in the wake of the current Chairman, Amjad Zubair Tiwana, deciding to retire earlier than planned. The decision for Tiwana to retire ahead of schedule prompted the search for a new leader for the FBR.
Before the official announcement, sources close to the matter disclosed that a summary detailing Langriyal’s appointment had been submitted to the federal cabinet for approval. This step was a necessary procedural action to finalize his appointment.
Rashid Mahmood Langriyal’s new role as Chairman of the FBR marks a significant transition within the organization, following a period of change at the top level of its leadership. As Langriyal steps into this position, his prior experience as Secretary of the Power Division will likely play a crucial role in his new responsibilities at the FBR. The move reflects the federal government’s ongoing efforts to ensure effective management and leadership within its key institutions.
