Islamabad: In a bid to provide financial relief to electricity consumers, the government has prepared a plan to eliminate unnecessary charges, including the PTV license fee, from electricity bills.
According to sources in the Power Division, a proposal has been finalized to remove the monthly PTV fee of Rs. 35 currently charged to domestic consumers. Industrial and commercial consumers, who also pay this fee as part of their electricity bills, are expected to benefit from this initiative as well.
This development comes following directives from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who has instructed authorities to take concrete measures to reduce the financial burden on the public. The proposal also includes a review of other non-essential surcharges imposed on electricity bills.
Once approved, the plan is expected to bring significant relief to millions of consumers facing high electricity costs. Further details regarding the implementation timeline are likely to be announced in the coming days.
