The NFC is required to be set up at intervals not exceeding five years as required under clause (1) of the Article 160 of the Constitution. The federal finance minister and the finance ministers of the provinces are the statutory members of NFC. It is customary to include one non-statutory member from each province.
The letters have accordingly been dispatched to the Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Ahmad Buzdar, the Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah, the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan and the Chief Minister Balochistan Jam Kamal Khan.
The letters state that after general elections 2018, new governments are in place both at the federal and provincial levels, necessitating re-confirmation of non-statutory members from the provinces.
The finance minister has asked the provincial chief ministers to either reconfirm the earlier nominated members or intimate the change in the nomination to enable the federal government to notify the 9th NFC and start deliberations of the Commission.
