Pakistan Budget for FY 2026-27

[Pakistan Space Agency]

What does it matter who I’m comparing it with? The numbers are independent of that, you haven’t answered my question, you claim we are not in a catastrophe, I (The PTI Sheikh Chilli) claim we are. Please back your words with evidence to show everything is in fact rainbows and sunshine under PDM

It's not "rainbows and sunshine" (for one Pakistan has never experienced that for the last 4,000 years), and, it's not a catastrophe.

PTI Shaikh Chillis like to imagine Pakistan facing "default", "bloodbath" and "balance of payment" when there isn't one.

The economy is now "stable".

People are underestimating this budget. Retarded NFC award was holding back federal govt.

15 years of more money transfered to provinces and barely any development. In return Pakistan sacrificed GDP growth just to rise more and more taxes. Typical debt trap.

This budged finally changed that. Now Islamabad will keep Rs1 trillion that was going to provinces.

I will not be surprised at 6% GDP growth with CAD under control for FY 2026-27.

How is the grant from provinces to federal any different from the surpluses they had to generate in previous years?
Same thing?
Or is the grant in addition to the surplus by each province?

Do you expect us to go into the “growth” phase post 2027?

Surplus is province money which they dont spend but keep in bank accounts to earn interest.

Now FBR tax collection target is 15 trillion but provinces will only get share from first 13 trillion. Anything above it, federal will keep it as grant.

Hydra bro,

I have a different perspective. The problem in the subcontinent is too much centralisation and not the other way round. Pakistan's NFC was an ideal for the subcontinent- the way forward should be to transfer the provincial surpluses to local govts so that they can spend better on education, sanitation and healthcare.

Regards

Indian states collect more taxes and transfer some of it to Delhi if Im not wrong. So rich states per capita budget is higher.

See the poorest states get least budget per capita budget in India.

State	Total Budget (FY 24-25)	Est. Population (2024)	Per Capita Budget
Punjab	₹2.04 Lakh Cr	~3.1 Crore	~₹65,800
Maharashtra	₹6.00 Lakh Cr	~13.0 Crore	~₹46,100
Tamil Nadu	₹3.48 Lakh Cr	~7.7 Crore	~₹45,100
Uttar Pradesh	₹7.36 Lakh Cr	~24.0 Crore	~₹30,600
Bihar	₹2.78 Lakh Cr	~13.0 Crore	~₹21,300

Meanwhile Pakistan where 95% of tax is collected by federal govt is other way around. Punjab per capita budget is least after 7th NFC award.

Province / Territory	Total Budget (FY 24-25)	Population (2023 Census)	Per Capita Budget
Gilgit-Baltistan	Rs. 140.1 Billion	~1.71 Million	~Rs. 82,000
Balochistan	Rs. 955.6 Billion	~14.89 Million	~Rs. 64,100
Sindh	Rs. 3.05 Trillion	~55.69 Million	~Rs. 54,800
AJK	Rs. 224 Billion	~4.33 Million	~Rs. 51,600
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa	Rs. 1.75 Trillion	~40.85 Million	~Rs. 42,900
Punjab	Rs. 5.44 Trillion	~127.68 Million	~Rs. 42,600

Bihar/UP would love Pakistan like NFC.
