Mahmood Langrial is the Chairman of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) in Pakistan, responsible for overseeing tax collection and enforcement. Recently, he has been in the news due to the government's reevaluation of FBR officers' powers to arrest suspected tax evaders following concerns from the business community regarding potential misuse of these powers. Langrial has emphasized the need for safeguards to prevent arbitrary detentions while maintaining that the authority to arrest tax defaulters is a longstanding provision in taxation law.
