The following people have served as high commissioners or ambassadors from India to Pakistan. Pakistan vacated its membership in the Commonwealth of Nations from January 1972 until August 1989. From 1999 until 2004, and during 2007–2008, Pakistan was suspended from the Commonwealth of Nations.

After the Abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, Pakistan downgraded diplomatic ties with India, suspending the then-Indian High Commissioner. Since then, the mission is being headed by the Charge d'Affaires.

In August 2023, a 2005-batch IFS officer, Geetika Srivastava was appointed Charge d'Affaires, becoming the first woman to head the Indian mission in Pakistan.
