Punjab PA approves Rs5,335bn budget
LAHORE: The Punjab Assembly on Thursday approved a tax-free budget of Rs 5,335 billion for the fiscal year 2025-26, maintaining the current tax structure without imposing any new taxes. The Finance Bill 2025-26 was also passed, ensuring no changes in provincial taxes, property tax, or transport tax, with no additional levies on industries, agriculture, health, or education sectors. During the session, the House approved 41 demands for grants worth Rs4,306.9792 billion, while rejecting eight cut motions presented by the opposition. The newly passed budget and finance bill will take effect from July 1, 2025. Key allocations in the budget includes; Rs120 billion for construction of roads and bridges, Rs462 billion for pensions, Rs258 billion for healthcare facilities, Rs137 billion for education reforms, Rs200 billion for police to maintain law and order, Rs27 billion for jail administration, Rs1 billion for civil defence, Rs26 billion for farmers welfare, Rs66 billion for agricultural loans, Rs18.22 billion for industrial development and Rs37.96 billion for irrigation projects. Moreover, the assembly approved Rs910 billion for various development projects, Rs161 billion for government buildings, Rs26.5 billion for agriculture, Rs19 billion for veterinary services and Rs1.6 billion for fisheries. Grants for registration, stamps, motor vehicle acts, and excise were also approved. Four significant bills were presented by Mian Mujtaba Shujaur Rehman which include Punjab Autism School and Resource Centre Bill 2025, Urban Immovable Property Tax (Amendment) Bill 2025, Essential Commodities Price Control (Amendment) Bill 2025 and Punjab Labour Courts Bill 2025 These bills were referred to relevant standing committees, with the Speaker seeking reports within two months. During the session, government member Saeed Akbar Nawani raised objections over duplicate serial numbers (35 and 41) in the demands for grants, suggesting they should be merged for clarity. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Mian Mujtaba Shujaur Rehman responded that the practice was longstanding but assured a review to determine if a technical merger was feasible. The Punjab Assembly session was commenced under the chairmanship of Speaker Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan after a delay of 4 hours and 6 minutes. The proceedings began with heated exchanges over a point of order, as government member Munawar Ghous lashed out at the alleged illegal actions of the Counter-Cybercrime Department (CCD). Ghous claimed that a former councillor from his constituency was unlawfully arrested by a CCD DSP, handcuffed, paraded in public, and humiliated. He further alleged that the officer slapped the detainee, recorded videos, and encouraged bystanders to film the incident, saying, 'Look at him and make videos.' Speaker Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan termed the act unconstitutional and illegal, stating, 'If a video was indeed made, it violates both the law and a High Court order.' He directed the Provincial Minister for Parliamentary Affairs to investigate the matter, calling it a 'bad practice.' In response, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Mujtaba Shujaur Rehman assured the assembly that he would look into the issue immediately. The Speaker also emphasized the need for the government to disarm the public, stating, 'I will consider this government successful only when it retrieves weapons from people's hands.' He expressed concern over personal vendettas leading to entire villages living in fear, urging the minister to take the matter to the cabinet. 'Armed civilians spread terror, and murders are occurring in broad daylight,' he added. Minister Shujaur Rehman responded that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz was already working on a campaign to eliminate weapons from society and eradicate such a culture. He recalled that the cabinet had previously discussed reopening arms licences in Punjab. Meanwhile, Speaker Punjab Assembly Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan read the ruling regarding his decision on June 16th incident in which the Speaker suspend opposition member Hassan Malik for his misconduct during the budget session. The Speaker stated that opposition members attempted to disrupt the budget speech, with Hassan Malik allegedly throwing the budget book at the Finance Minister. 'After reviewing the video footage, it became clear that this behaviour was repeated, forcing the Finance Minister to halt his speech,' the Speaker said. While acknowledging that protest is a constitutional right, he emphasized, 'I will not allow the assembly to be taken over. I have the authority to suspend members for misconduct. Attempts to obstruct House proceedings will not be tolerated.' The Speaker warned that strict action would be taken against any member trying to disrupt the assembly's functioning.

Adding to the nervous sentiment was the prevailing political noise surrounding the delayed approval of the revised Finance Bill 2025-26 by the Parliament. Meanwhile, apprehensions over the Federal Board of Revenue's collection targets and the expanded discretionary powers granted under the federal budget, which are expected to impact industrial sectors, further weighed on investor confidence and contributed to the bearish close at the Pakistan Stock Exchange.

WHO warns unchanged FED on cigarettes may boost consumption
ISLAMABAD: World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed serious concern that the Federal Cabinet decision to keep Federal Excise Duty (FED) rates on cigarettes unchanged in budget (2025-26) would increase cigarette consumption in Pakistan. According to a report of the WHO on post-budget analysis and review issued on Wednesday, since February 2023, the Federal Excise Duty (FED) rates on cigarettes have remained unchanged. The Cabinet has maintained these rates in the proposed budget for FY 2025–26. With inflation rising by 26% over this period, the real value of FED rates and cigarette prices has declined, and this trend is expected to continue in the absence of any adjustment. For FY 2024–25, WHO has estimated cigarette production at approximately 37 billion sticks, an increase compared to the previous fiscal year—and projected FED revenue at Rs. 208 billion. Given the decision to keep FED rates unchanged for FY 2025–26, nominal cigarette prices are likely to remain flat, implying a further decline in real prices. This will likely result in increased cigarette consumption. Based on a simple simulation model, cigarette production (and consumption) is projected to reach around 38 billion sticks, generating Rs 217.6 billion in FED revenue in FY 2025–26. Alternatively, a policy intervention involving a Rs 39 per pack increase in FED could reduce cigarette consumption by an estimated 10.7%, bringing production down to around 34 billion sticks. This policy would also boost FED revenues by 20.9% compared to the current plan, resulting in higher fiscal and public health gains. Notably, the government has set a revised FED revenue target of only Rs. 147 billion from cigarettes in FY 2024–25—a surprisingly conservative figure, considering actual collections reached Rs 157 billion during the first nine months of the fiscal year. We estimate that total FED revenue for FY 2024–25 will reach approximately Rs. 208.2 billion, nearly Rs. 60 billion more than collected in the first three quarters. Estimated cigarette FED collection in FY 2024/25. Based on PBS's data, the average annual growth rate of cigarettes production from July 2024 to April 2025 is 12.4% higher when compared to July 2023/April 24. By assuming the same annual growth rate for the next two months, the estimated production of cigarettes for 2024-25 will be around 37 billion sticks. By applying the above market shares and FED and GST rates, it is important to note that the estimated FED revenue collection for 2024-25 is 208.2 billion Rs. This is much higher than 147.8 billion Rs of the government's revised target for 2024-25. The total indirect tax collection from cigarettes (FED+GST) in 2024-25 will be around Rs 275.7 billion. To protect both public health and government revenue, Pakistan's tobacco tax policy should be reassessed and strengthened. This includes regular adjustments to the Federal Excise Duty (FED) rates and stricter oversight of industry practices, such as production front loading ahead of the budget and manipulation of brand mixes. However, the current budget proposal for cigarette FED rates does not incorporate these tax policy corrections needed to meet revenue and health objectives. With this decision, the government and FBR hope to control cigarette illicit manufacturing and smuggling. To address those challenges, however, proper tax administration measures should be implemented, such as effective controls of the distribution movements of tobacco leaves, used cigarette machinery and other key cigarette inputs inside the national territory, WHO added.
