Civil servants' foreign ties: ministries told to compile details
Under the Civil Servants (Disclosure and Regulation of Foreign Nationality) Rules, 2026, officers must declare their own and dependants' nationality status within 90 days of gazette publication.
The Establishment Division's notification of October 21 asks ministries and divisions to compile officers' foreign nationality details.
Officers must declare their own and dependants' nationality status within 90 days of the rules' gazette publication.
Failing to declare, or giving false information, is treated as misconduct under the 2020 discipline rules.
Officers of the PAS, PSP, Secretariat Group and OMG are excluded from the compilation.
Defence Minister Khawaja Asif alleged, without naming officials or giving evidence, that some officers planned to settle abroad.
