Maintained by Pakistan's National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA), Pakistan’s Proscribed Persons List contains information about any individual about whom either there is a credible intelligence-information or who has a history of being linked to a Proscribed Organization can be proscribed by Home Department of a Province and can be subjected to restrictions on travel, speech and business, under the Anti Terrorism Act, 1997.
After issuance notification by the Home Department, name of such proscribed person is included in the 4th Schedule under the Anti Terrorism Act, 1997. Therefore, such proscribed persons are also referred to in local Police/ LEAs parlance as 4th Schedulers. NACTA is not directly involved in the process of proscription of an individual. However, in pursuance of National Action Plan, 2014, NACTA reviewed the lists of 4th schedulers of all Provinces and found flaws in their profiling.
NACTA after removing such anomalies and standardizing the profiling process has followed up by implementing additional limitations on the proscribed persons, in coordination with the Federal Ministries.
