In a recent move to curb expenditures, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has suspended the planned purchase of over 1,000 new vehicles intended for its officers. The decision comes in response to growing budgetary constraints and the need to prioritize essential services and resources.
The vehicles were to be assigned to FBR officers as part of an effort to modernize the agency’s fleet and improve operational efficiency. However, with the federal budget under scrutiny and mounting financial pressures, the suspension aims to ensure that public funds are used more judiciously.
Sources within the FBR confirm that the suspension of the vehicle purchase will not affect the ongoing operations of the agency. However, officials have indicated that they will reassess the need for new vehicles in the future, depending on the budgetary landscape.
This move reflects a wider trend within government departments to scale back on non-essential spending and redirect funds toward critical public services.
