Nabeel Javed directed the assistant commissioners to go to the field and complete the revenue recovery process in time and the officers should complete the target of agricultural income tax, abiana and other taxes on priority basis.

He directed that the recovery process should be ensured by auditing the private housing societies and strict legal action should be taken against those who do not pay government dues. He said that deputy commissioners across the province should hold weekly meetings on revenue recovery and self-evaluate the performance of the officers concerned. He said that officers should listen to the people’s problems and play their role in solving them, issue orders on the spot and don't make citizens go around government offices unnecessarily.
