Post-Army activities

In July 1997, the retired general became the chairman of Evacuee Trust Property Board, an organization which since its inception in 1960 had generated a total revenue of Rs. 1.17 billion. General Nasir, after taking over raised a total revenue of Rs. 1.225 billion in four years, exceeding the total revenue the department earned in the last 37 years.

During his tenure, the general learned the free hand RAW (Indian Intelligence) had been having since 1948 in the manipulation and control of the Sikh Pilgrims during the four religious functions, which Evacuee Trust Property Board used to arrange. In order to protect from the infiltrators, the general constituted a Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PGPC) in April 1999, which was given the responsibility of maintaining the Sikh Gurdawaras and holding the Sikh holy functions. The success of this organization is uncertain.

Allegations of fraud

On 25 August 2002, Pakistani newspapers wrongly published the headlines that Lieutenant General Javed Nasir and his team of elite officials including S.M Patwari and Khwaja Shahid Nazeer were among the key players, the General fled the country with Rs. 3.3 billion.^[3] Nonetheless, the general not only claimed innocence, but also sued the press and the government. The News published the story on 24 August 2002, and reported that the general embezzled Rs. 3 billion and fled the country. The general clarified in a television interview on the same night that he did not commit any crime and did not flee the country
