ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Wazarat-e-Khazana ke maaliyati operations ke aadad-o-shumar ke mutabiq hukoomat ne maali saal 2026-27 ki pehli sehmahi mein petroleum levy ki mad mein Rs381.82 arab wasool kiye, jo July se September ke arse mein is mad mein ab tak ki sab se bari wasooli hai.
Yeh raqam pichhle maali saal ke inhi teen mahinon ke muqable mein Rs10.21 arab zyada hai, jab levy se taqreeban Rs371.6 arab hasil hue thay. Aadad-o-shumar se yeh maloom nahin hota ke is mein petrol, diesel ya deegar masnoaat ka hissa kitna tha, aur na hi izafe ki koi wajah batai gayi hai.
Isi report ke mutabiq hukoomat ne is sehmahi mein carbon levy ki mad mein Rs22 arab aur electric vehicle adoption levy ki mad mein Rs9 arab bhi wasool kiye.
Non-tax aamdan ka bara hissa
Levy ke yeh aadad-o-shumar usi sehmahi data se samne aaye hain jis ke mutabiq wafaqi aur subai hukoomaton ka majmooi surplus Rs1.27 trillion raha, jo ek saal pehle Rs2.12 trillion tha. Kul aamdan taqreeban Rs6 trillion rahi, jis mein se Rs3.39 trillion taxon se hasil hue.
Baqi taqreeban Rs2.62 trillion non-tax aamdan thi. Is ka zyadatar hissa State Bank of Pakistan ke Rs1.93 trillion ke munafe par mushtamil tha, jabke petroleum levy ka hissa taqreeban 15 feesad raha. In teen mahinon mein mulki aur ghair mulki qarzon par sood ki adaigi par taqreeban Rs1.7 trillion kharch hue.
Levy indhan ke har litre par aaid ek muqarrara raqam hai jo barah-e-raast wafaqi hukoomat ko jati hai. Is waqt yeh petrol aur diesel par taqreeban Rs80 fi litre hai. Hukoomat ka kehna hai ke woh ise yakdam khatam nahin kar sakti, kyunke budget aur International Monetary Fund ka programme dono is se hasil hone wali raqam par inhisar karte hain.
Qeematein kam, levy par behas jari
Yeh aadad-o-shumar aise waqt samne aaye hain jab pump par qeematein kam ho rahi hain. Chaar dinon mein chaar baar petrol ki qeemat mein majmooi taur par Rs16 fi litre kami ki gayi hai aur Hafte se is ki qeemat Rs330 hai, jabke diesel Rs360 par barqarar hai.
Jamaat-e-Islami levy ke khatme ke liye muhim chala rahi hai. Jamaat ke ameer Hafiz Naeemur Rehman ne is hafte kaha ke taqreeban das daur ki baat cheet ke baad hukoomat is mein marhala-war kami par ghaur kar rahi hai. Jamaat 22 November ko Quetta mein ijtima aur 29 November ko Lahore mein Minar-e-Pakistan par jalsa karegi.
Maali saal ke baqi hisse mein levy se kitni raqam hasil hoti hai, is ka inhisar indhan ki farokht aur is baat par hoga ke fi litre sharah mein koi tabdeeli aati hai ya nahin.
