Federal civil servants who have not yet filed their asset declarations have been given more time. The federal government has extended the deadline for the Civil Servants Asset Declaration for the financial year 2025-26, and officers can now submit their declarations digitally through the Federal Board of Revenue portal until 30 November 2026. The extension was granted through an Office Memorandum issued by the Establishment Division on 12 November 2026, with the approval of the Prime Minister. Officers who were still preparing their declarations should use this extra time and file within the new deadline, because the declaration is a compulsory requirement for federal civil servants.

Legal Basis
In relaxation of Rule 12(6) of the Civil Servants (Conduct) Rules, 2026
The Civil Servants Asset Declaration is the yearly declaration in which a federal civil servant states the assets he or she holds. For the financial year 2025-26, the declaration must be submitted digitally through the Federal Board of Revenue portal. The declaration is a formal record of the officer’s assets, and it is filed under the Civil Servants (Conduct) Rules. The government has been moving towards digital filing of officers’ assets, and this year’s declarations are being collected online rather than on paper.
What it is: a declaration of the assets held by a federal civil servant, filed for the financial year 2025-26.
Who files it: federal civil servants under the administrative control of federal ministries, divisions, and Cadre Administrators.
How it is filed: digitally, through the Federal Board of Revenue portal.
Legal basis: the Civil Servants (Conduct) Rules, 2026, with this extension granted in relaxation of Rule 12(6) of those rules.
Not for the public: this deadline applies to federal civil servants only. It is not a tax filing deadline for the general public, and ordinary taxpayers should not confuse it with their own filing dates.
What Has Changed: The New Deadline
The important change is the date. The previous deadline for filing the Civil Servants Asset Declaration had been communicated through an earlier memorandum issued on 16 September 2026. That deadline has now been extended. The new deadline is 30 November 2026, and officers who have not yet filed now have until the end of November to submit their declarations online.
Old position: the previous deadline was set out in a memorandum issued on 16 September 2026.
New deadline: 30 November 2026 (Monday) for digital submission of the Declaration of Assets for FY 2025-26.
How the extension was given: through an Office Memorandum issued by the Establishment Division on 12 November 2026 (Thursday), with the approval of the Prime Minister.
Legal form: the extension was granted in relaxation of Rule 12(6) of the Civil Servants (Conduct) Rules, 2026.
What officers should do: file the declaration digitally on the Federal Board of Revenue portal within the extended deadline, and do not wait for the last day.
The extension does not stop at the filing deadline. The Establishment Division has also extended the deadline for submitting corrections to the declarations. Officers who find an error in a declaration they have already filed will have more time to correct it, but there is an important condition attached to corrections.
Correction deadline: 31 December 2026 (Thursday).
Approval needed: any correction will need approval from the officer’s respective Cadre Administrator before it is submitted.
Plan ahead: officers who think their declaration may need a correction should speak to their Cadre Administrator in good time, because the approval must come first.
File first, correct later: the correction window runs for a month after the filing deadline, so an officer should file by 30 November 2026 and use December only for genuine corrections.
Who Must File and What the Government Has Directed
The memorandum is addressed to the whole federal setup. All federal ministries, divisions, and Cadre Administrators have been directed to instruct the officers under their administrative control to file their asset declarations digitally on the Federal Board of Revenue portal within the extended deadline. In simple terms, the responsibility runs in two directions: the officer must file, and the ministry or division must make sure its officers know about the deadline and file on time.
Ministries and divisions: must instruct officers under their administrative control to file within the extended deadline.
Cadre Administrators: must instruct officers, and must also approve any corrections before they are submitted.
Officers: must submit their Declaration of Assets for FY 2025-26 digitally on the Federal Board of Revenue portal by 30 November 2026.
Scope: the direction covers federal civil servants. It does not create any new filing duty for the general public.
Background: Why Digital Asset Filing Matters
Digital filing of officers’ assets through the Federal Board of Revenue has been on the government’s agenda for some time. Earlier reporting said the government moved to make civil servants declare their assets on a key demand of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), while it later emerged that the government would not fully disclose civil servants’ assets to the public. The current extension fits that same pattern: the declarations are collected digitally and held by the government, but they are not published for general public viewing.
Digital record: filing through the Federal Board of Revenue portal creates a proper digital record of each officer’s declaration.
Transparency drive: asset declarations are part of the wider effort to bring transparency to the civil service.
Public disclosure: according to earlier reporting, the assets declared by civil servants will not be fully disclosed to the public.
IMF link: earlier reporting linked the move to make civil servants declare assets to a key demand of the International Monetary Fund.
The extension gives officers about two and a half weeks from the date of the memorandum, but the sensible approach is to file early. Waiting until 30 November 2026 risks portal load, missing documents, or a last-minute error that cannot be fixed in time. Officers should treat the new date as a firm deadline, not as a reason to delay.
Check your records: gather the details of your assets for the financial year 2025-26 before you start filing.
File digitally: submit the Declaration of Assets on the Federal Board of Revenue portal. The source names no separate portal link, and no filing steps beyond digital submission on the portal have been announced.
Do not miss 30 November 2026: that is the extended deadline for filing the declaration itself.
Corrections need approval: if you need to correct a filed declaration, get approval from your Cadre Administrator first, and submit the correction by 31 December 2026.
Follow your ministry’s instructions: your ministry, division, or Cadre Administrator has been directed to instruct officers to file, so follow the instructions issued by your own office.

Conclusion
The extension of the Civil Servants Asset Declaration deadline to 30 November 2026 gives federal civil servants a final window to file their Declarations of Assets for the financial year 2025-26 digitally through the Federal Board of Revenue portal. The extension, granted by the Establishment Division on 12 November 2026 with the Prime Minister’s approval, also gives officers until 31 December 2026 to submit corrections, with their Cadre Administrator’s approval. Officers should file well before the deadline, check their declarations carefully, and seek approval early if a correction is needed. The deadline applies to federal civil servants, not to the general public, and it should not be confused with any tax filing date for ordinary taxpayers.
