The Finance Division apologized for disobeying the order of Prime Minister Imran Khan. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused in the current financial year.

The salaries of FIA employees will not be equal to those of NAB employees this financial year. Finance Secretary Naveed Kamran Baloch has informed the Secretary to the Prime Minister in a letter that this decision has been taken after consultation between the Financial Division and FIA That the pay package of FIA employees should be made equal to that of NAB employees. Therefore, keeping in view the facts, the scope of work of FIA has become more than all other investigative agencies, even from NAB.

The FIA's actions have also increased the chances of being removed from the FATAF's gray list. In addition, the FIA ​​is investigating corruption, money laundering, cyber and economic crime, human trafficking, and terrorism.
