While the incumbent Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government following the austerity measures announced the budget of Prime Minister’s office Rs779,355,000 for the fiscal year 2014-15, which is just 3.26 per more higher than last year's estimated figure of Rs 754,614,000 for the year 2013-14, the review of last five years expenditure of the PM Office reveals shocking facts.
In the fiscal year 2010-11, the increase in the PM office expenditure was 8.25 per cent, which was almost 5 per cent lower than the rate of inflation, which stood at 13.7 per cent that year.

These are the PM's of poor country. The original expenditures are higher than this budget. Nawaz sharif has spended 26 crore rupees on foreign tours. There are different techniques to make corruption and this is one of them and PM is not answerable about this.
No matter what is the relationship between expenditures of current and previous years. It is obvious that Supreme Leader (or what they call Khadim-e-Aala) of a country like Pakistan can not afford to have such luxuries of a nine digits budget for this purpose …. Shameful !
The budget was not poor friendly, PM must have announce cuts in luxury spending, how come a poor country afford to buy BMWs. I am quite sure we would have enough money in our kitty, if we cut 30% of PM Secretariat and President secretariat budget which amounts to 500 million rupees, 40% cut in Minister's annual budget which amounts to nearly 2 billion rupees , Auction all cares from ministries and bureaucracies above 1800 cc and utilize that money for poor's welfare.
@Guest: Another patriotic follower of Mian Saahib, Dear brother, the percentage increase is calculated by comparing the current with previous numbers... Mian saab might be better than the previous Government but the question is, would that serve a common citizen, NO! Moreover, the current numbers do not include the expenses of Raiwind, Electricity, Personal Visits and expenses and most of all the commissions which are earned behind the table.. Now please do not dare to say Your Lord Shareef would never be involved in such secret deals :-p
Guys, I must assume that ur comments are blindly stated at pml-n. 8.25% cent at the inflation rate of 13.7% meant that the expenditure was less than last year. guess what ppp did in 2011-12 and 2012-13 "Interestingly, in 2011-12 and 2012-13, the government had increased the budget of the PM office at the whopping rate of 56 and 58 per cent respectively." That says ppp doubled the expenditure in two years. Please read a whole article before stating remarks You guys need to count that Ismael has been adding a few zero's to the number. Go for the budget video recording on youtube.
This is called Patriotic PM of Pakistan......................
Minimum wage Rs. 11000, and this mughal e azam is getting RS 754,614,000 of taxpayers money for his shenanigans. How much he used to pay in taxes? Mere Rs 5000.
Shameful.
PM house expenditure at RS 754,614,000...lol...omit the last five digits and you will get the expenditure of a Common Man's House...So this is what you get for electing a Prime Minister who is served by 777 people at a time. A PM who is always shrieking about simplicity and Professing to be the only Messiah this nation will ever see
There is huge difference between the budget amount of the prime minister's house and the actual spending. Last year the spending ballooned, and that too excluding the electricity related expanses, for which the prime minister house was defaulting. Here again, Munshi Sahib is playing with numbers. Actual spending will be nowhere close.
