For the first time in Pakistan’s history, the federal government is expected to receive Rs. 1.035 trillion in grants from provincial governments during FY2026-27. According to budget documents, these funds will support federal relief measures and key expenditures under Article 164. The grants have been included in the non-tax revenue estimates, which are projected at Rs. 5.335 trillion. To contribute these funds, provinces have reduced portions of their development budgets, with Punjab facing one of the largest cuts. Meanwhile, petroleum levy collections and SBP profits remain major revenue sources for the federal government in the upcoming fiscal year.

The Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) has approved key amendments to the Code of Conduct for judges, allowing superior court judges to attend political or d!plomatic events only with prior permission from their respective chief justices. Previously, such participation was completely banned. The updated code now also includes the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) and strengthens rules on transparency, integrity, and reporting attempts to influence judges. Judges must promptly report any interference to top judicial authorities, with strict timelines for review and action. These reforms aim to improve accountability, institutional coordination, and ethical standards within Pakistan’s superior judiciary.

The government has proposed abolishing the advance tax on payments for foreign television plays and advertisements under the Finance Bill 2026–27, as part of efforts to simplify and rationalize the tax system. The measure will remove levies on the acquisition, broadcasting, and airing of foreign content and ads, reducing costs for broadcasters and advertisers. Industry stakeholders have long argued that the tax increased operational expenses amid rising competition from digital platforms. The proposal is expected to benefit television networks, advertising agencies, and media firms by lowering costs and improving access to international content, subject to parliamentary approval.

The government clarified this will not directly impose a new tax on consumers, though retail prices may be slightly affected depending on market conditions.
