HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Textile Commissioner's Organization existed even prior to the Independence as an attached department. After independence, the Organization was first set up as a subordinate office of the Ministry of Industries, and then merged with the Department of Supplies and Development in 1959. It was again made an independent Organization headed by a Textile Advisor in 1961, but abolished in 1962 and the organizational set up was merged with the Investment Promotion Bureau, under the title of Directorate of Textiles. This arrangement continued till the year 1973. However, as the Textile Industry was the first major industrial activity in Pakistan under direct Government encouragement, it was felt that the requirements of Textile Industry were not being looked after properly. 

The Textile Commissioner's Organization, with the status of an attached department under the Ministry of Industries, and headed by a Textile Commissioner was, therefore, created in November 1973. However, with the creation of Ministry of Textile Industry in 2004, the Textile Commissioner’s Organization was given the status of attached department of MINTEX. The TCO remained the attached department of Ministry of Textile Industry till 2013.

The Ministry of Textile Industry was merged with Ministry of Commerce in 2013 and the Textile Commissioner’s Organization remained the attached department of Textile Industry Division under Ministry of Commerce & Textile Industry. However, with the creation of Ministry of Textile Industry again in 2014, the TCO was again given the status of Attached Department of Ministry of Textile Industry.  In 2019, the Ministry of Textile Industry was merged with Ministry of Commerce, since then the Textile Commissioner’s Organization has been functioning as an Executive Department of Ministry of Commerce.
