As per the source’s claims, this operation, described as a watershed moment in the nation’s quest for fiscal responsibility, has a specific focus: tracing all the individuals who have been found guilty in cases and have exhausted all legal avenues.
Media reports suggest that the FBR has gotten the green light from all legal forums, providing the impetus for this proactive stance. Given that, the FBR has recently issued uncompromising directives to its field offices, pointing at the expedited recovery of taxes from deemed tax evaders.

FBR notifies individuals who find themselves ensnared in the operation that they must submit the requisite documentation within one week of receiving a tax notice, as failure to comply may trigger swift and decisive legal actions against them. In cases where violations prevail, the FBR may exercise the right of property auctions as a means of compelling the payment of unpaid taxes.
