Abstract: Preamble: In the intricate landscape of modern governance, each state faces pivotal questions regarding the formulation and execution of rules, responsibilities, and compliance mechanisms. Striking a delicate balance between accountability and efficiency is paramount, as governments seek to navigate the complexities of decision-making. The functioning of a government is deeply entrenched in established rules and regulations, with the Rules of Business and Secretariat Instructions acting as fundamental documents guiding the operations of the federal government in Pakistan. However, despite their crucial role, these documents face challenges in adapting to contemporary governance requirements and embracing modern management techniques. This discussion explores the complex problems in the Rules of Business (RoB) and Secretariat Instructions, revealing how they impact the federal governments effectiveness, transparency, and adaptability. By thoroughly examining these challenges, the focus is on advocating for reform and suggesting solutions to enhance the optimal functioning of public sector organizations in Pakistan.
