The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has suspended a Deputy Director of the Customs Academy of Pakistan (CAP), Karachi after he failed to attend a mandatory training course at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS).
According to an official notification issued on Wednesday, the FBR used its authority under Rule 5(1) of the Civil Servants (Efficiency & Discipline) Rules, 2020 to suspend Iqbal Ahmad Memon (PCS/BS-18). He is currently serving as Deputy Director at the Customs Academy of Pakistan in Karachi. The suspension will remain in place until the completion of disciplinary proceedings.
The FBR took this action because the officer repeatedly missed several sessions of a mandatory certification course at LUMS without permission. The notification stated that his absence showed a failure to follow official training requirements and a lack of responsibility towards his professional duties.
