, Jan. 6 -- Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed on Tuesday said the interim government will complete the splitting process of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) before the February-12 general election.

"Time is still there. It has not happened yet, but you will see whether it happens by January or February 12. All the formalities will be completed. There is only a small issue (over it) left," he told reporters after the meetings of the Advisers Council Committee on Economic Affairs and Advisers Council Committee on Government Purchase at the Secretariat.

The long-discussed process of separating policy formulation from tax administration at the NBR has missed the December-31 deadline.
