Government has allocated an amount of 423 billion rupees for development projects. The remaining amount of 102 billion is to come from foreign aid (not in govts control). So far govt has released 192 billion from the allocated 423 billion. This is 45%. last year govt allocated 430 billion and...

i dont know. There is project management wing (or similar) in the Planning Commission anyways. I tried to find some details/reports of this new consultant system but couldnt find any. I am still not clear how exactly it works.

there are two problems here: 1) The first one is to do with the local bodies. The new Law says that 30% of the development fund is to be given to the local bodies. Since PTI manifesto was not to give funds directly to the MPAs, most of this chunk had no where to go in the absence of local...

PTI led Pakistan will look like: depoliticised institutions and contradictory statements

Thanks for explaining. I dont want to deduce which of the cities pay more tax. My intention is to only understand a technical issue. From what I have understood, such numbers like x% of total revenue collected from a city dont really give any explicit information about the city's contribution...

So am i right to say that 2 of the above 3 taxes will be recorded in Karachi (for Engro Cooperation) even though the whole country is contributing towards it?

Thanks. So lets take an example: Engro Corporation has its businesses spread all across Pakistan. Its head office is in Karachi. Now there are (broadly speaking) three types of taxes they will be collecting: 1) Sales tax collected of products sold 2) Income tax collected on workers wages 3)...

I think this is a good opportunity to formalise some sort of a joint armed force under the OIC (similar to NATO). Assisting each other against such militias is the need of the day. But before any decision, Pakistan must take Iran into confidence that any such assistance is purely against an...

I was under the impression that this is because the head offices of many big corporations are in Karachi. So when time comes to pay taxes, tax receipts for these corporations fall under Karachi's domain even though their business is spread all over the country. This meant that on paper Karachi...

finally

I recently travelled in the Lahore-Karachi business express. I had the ticket for the business class. All in all It was a very comfortable experience. Train left late due to fog but they kept me informed via text msgs throughout the day. I reached there 30 minutes before the time i was told it...

Good to learn from each other. Punjab should also learn from KPK on how to depoliticise the police! likewise, KPK should learn from Punjab on how to quickly implement development projects!

awesome news. The only reason i support PTI is its agenda of institution building.

about time..

This is not a moment of celebration but that of self reflection. The last day arm twisting reflects very poorly on PTI's internal party dynamics highlighting a general disconnect. Also, it shows that significant number of party tickets for contesting the 2013 general elections were given to...

rather, they should make a joint force at the level of OIC and let it act at the request of any country's govt. This way no one country gets the blame if anything goes wrong. But internal and external forces will not let this happen.

Yes. It has nothing to do with the corridor in reality. It is simply another project PMLN govt wants Chinese to approve under the umbrella of 'Pak-China Economic Corridor projects.'

Yup thats correct. Any other route has nothing to do with the corridor as far as Chinese are concerned.
