A formal notification of the revised Terms of Reference (ToRs) of the IMC will now be issued.<br \/>\nIt has been committed in writing to the IMF that the FBR will publish anonymised data on the receipt and processing of complaints to prevent reputational risk to officials and to safeguard the interests of complainants.<br \/>\nThe FBR will digitise the Complaint Management Cell. The use of a dedicated online platform for logging, scrutinising and investigating corruption-related complaints will enhance procedural efficiency and ensure that all cases are handled in a standardised and traceable manner. The IMC webpage on the FBR website will also be optimised.<br \/>\nThe IMC was established several years ago but remained dormant. Under the IMF programme, it will now be made an effective mechanism to take action against corrupt officials.<br \/>\nThe Performance and Integrity Management Committee shall oversee the performance of the Integrity Management Cell (IMC).<br \/>\nThe IMC will report directly to the FBR chairman for enhanced accountability and streamlined operations. The complaint cell will maintain data regarding the number of complaints received, the number rejected after evaluation, the number formally placed under investigation, and the number categorised according to the outcome of investigations.
