LAHORE – The Punjab government would present its supplementary budget today (Monday), with a total outlay of over Rs200 billion.
The Governor of Punja, Rafique Rajwana has summoned the session of the Punjab Assembly today, where the Finance Minister Dr. Ayesha Ghaus Pasha will present the Supplementary Budget for the fiscal year 2017-18 at 3 pm.
The finance department officials said the Punjab government had prepared the full year budget, but it might prefer to announce only four months budget to let the interim set-up run its day-to-day business and leave it to the next elected government to table a formal budget for the rest of the year.
According to media reports, out of total amount suggested in the budget, Rs130 billion would be taken from the on-going development schemes.
A major chunk of the supplementary budget would be allocated for infrastructural projects.
