Government abolishes electricity duty from power bills <\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n

\n

The federal government has made an important decision to provide relief to electricity consumers.<\/p>\n

Federal Minister for Power Division, Awais Leghari, announced that from July 1, 2025, the electricity duty will be removed from electricity bills.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this decision is to reduce the burden of high electricity rates on the public and make the bills more transparent and easier to understand.<\/p>\n

According to Awais Leghari, the current high electricity rates have already become a financial burden for people, and the government wants to ensure that consumers pay only the actual cost of electricity.<\/p>\n

The federal minister emphasized that this decision has been taken to lower electricity rates and that provincial governments have been asked to cooperate in this effort.<\/p>\n

Awais Leghari has written letters to all provincial chief ministers, requesting them to develop alternative revenue collection systems in their provinces.<\/p>\n

He further said that the government is taking steps to remove unnecessary charges from electricity bills so that people are billed only for essential services.<\/p>\n
