ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday appointed Nausheen Javaid Amjad, a senior officer of Inland Revenue Service (IRS), as the chairperson of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). When two months ago, Shabbar Zaidi went on an indefinite leave, Nausheen became the acting chairperson of FBR. The selection committee had unanimously recommended that Nausheen should be appointed as the FBR chief. Sources informed Pakistan Today that Haroon Akhtar’s name was also proposed for making him the special assistant to prime minister on revenue due to his close affiliation with PTI members. Sources added that he also tried to grab the FBR chairman slot but the federal cabinet rejected his ascent to these positions.
