Hi all,
As someone has raised query about STP of Income Tax: Yes every probationer of Income Tax group has to undergo MBA in Tax Management from IBA Karachi. The duration of MBA is one year. Rest of the courses, being taught at Directorate General of Training and Research Direct Taxes, Sutluj Block, Near Moon Mkt. Allama Iqbal Town, Lahore (Known as DOT), are Income Tax Law, Accounting and Bookkeeping, Examination of Books of accounts, computer courses, etc. Training is really tough during STP. However there is state of the art academy with every facility one can imagine in Pakistan.
One who fails to qualify in first attempt looses his seniority among those who qualify and one who fails to qualify for three chances can not be promoted to next grade, unless he's given some special chance to qualify.
Feel free to ask any further query
best wishes
