According to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa finance department, government employees in the province will not receive an advance salary on Eid due to a shortfall of 90 billion rupees and not receiving any electricity profits from the federal government this year.
The Finance Advisor Bakhtullah has stated that the salary for the month of March was released by March 4, and it is not possible to pay the salary before Eid. However, he did mention that the government has approved rules under the Sales Tax in Services Act 2022, which will increase provincial revenue by about 5 billion rupees annually.
