NAB Reports Record Rs8,397bn Recovered Since March 2023, Eyes Rs2,000bn More This Year

Officials credit a narrowed mandate, digitization plus a new Land Directorate for the surge.

Overview

  • Officials say recoveries reached Rs8,397 billion from March 2023 through October 2025, the largest tally in the bureau’s history.
  • NAB projects a further Rs2,000 billion by year-end, extending what it describes as a sustained acceleration in asset recovery.
  • The bureau contrasts the recent haul with Rs883 billion recovered over the previous 23 years, underscoring a sharp jump in results.
  • Legislative changes in 2022 refocused jurisdiction by excluding taxation and certain cabinet or regulatory decisions and by adding a monetary-gain test and a Rs500 million threshold.
  • A Land Directorate drive reclaimed more than 4.53 million acres of government land valued in the trillions of rupees, with additional modernization steps including complaint screening, e-investigations and international cooperation.
