The Standing Committee on Energy has recommended removing the tax from electricity bills of all places of worship, including mosques. The meeting of the Standing Committee on Energy of the National Assembly was held under the chairmanship of Sardar Riaz Mehmood Khan Mazari.
Federal Minister for Energy Khurram Dastgir told the committee that due to the fuel price adjustment of the units used in June, the bills came higher in August, since then we have improved our management.
The federal minister said that we have tried our best to minimize the use of expensive fuel, we are trying continuously to minimize the fuel price adjustment.
Since May, the average electricity cost for low- to middle-income households has increased by more than 100%, making it impossible for many families to pay their bills. In parallel with the sharp increase in fuel price adjustment fees, the cost of government taxes on electricity bills has also increased substantially.
