Overview
- Pakistan’s Finance Ministry says provinces receive their NFC shares every 15 days and that no outstanding liabilities exist for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
- The ministry reports Rs8.404 trillion transferred to KP since 2010, including Rs5,867bn as NFC share, a Rs705bn war-on-terror allocation, and Rs482.78bn in straight transfers.
- Additional federal support cited includes Rs704bn for newly merged districts since 2019, Rs117.166bn for IDPs, Rs115bn via the PSDP, and Rs481.433bn under BISP.
- KP leaders dispute the accounting, with recent provincial statements alleging up to roughly Rs4 trillion in unpaid dues, citing delays in Net Hydel Profit, excise allocations, and funding for merged districts and IDPs.
- The core contention concerns financing for the former FATA areas, as KP claims greater entitlements due to population changes while the Centre says it has funded these costs from its own share.
