FBR'S red tape chokes development funds for Sindh: CM

Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah expressed concerns regarding the Federal Board of Revenue's tax collection process noting that a significant amount, estimated to be over Rs80 billion, was collected last year.

"We want the federal government to transfer the funds promptly to ensure investment in the social sector," he stated while speaking to the media after addressing the Pakistan Leadership Conversation 2025 at a local hotel.

The CM expressed his dissatisfaction over delayed transfer of funds. He emphasised that despite collecting revenue on time, the province does not receive its rightful share on time. He urged the federal government to ensure that these funds are transferred without unnecessary delays.

Regarding domicile irregularities, Murad assured that the matter is under investigation. He also stated that any individual found guilty of wrongdoing would face strict punishment, reaffirming the government's commitment to transparency and accountability.
