PM Shehbaz Electricity Relief Package 2026: Protected Limit Raised to 250 Units & Billing Penalty Removal

 

Mulki awam aur chote gharanon ko bijli ke bhari bills se rahat dene ke liye Federal Government ne ek bada relief plan zair-e-ghor laya hai. Federal Minister for Power Awais Leghari ne Senate ko aagah kiya hai ke hakoomat protected electricity consumers ki limit ko 200 units se barha kar 250 units karne ke plan par kaam kar rahi hai.

Is ke sath sath, 200 units se ek unit bhi upar hone par lagne wali 6-month penalty rule ko bhi khatam karne ki tajweez par ghor kiya ja raha hai. Aaiye dekhte hain ke is naye relief package se aam sarkari aur private bijli sarfeen ko kitna faida pahunchega.

1. Protected Limit 250 Units Karne Ka Mansooba

Mawujuda qawaneen ke tehat jo gharane mahana 200 units tak bijli istemal karte hain, unhe protected category mein rakha jata hai aur unka tariff per-unit rate aam sarfeen se kaafi kam hota hai. Lekin garmiyon ke mausam mein fan ya water pump ki wajah se unit 200 se 201 par pahunchte hi bill achanak double se bhi zyada ho jata hai.

• Naya Threshold: Protected status ki limit 250 units mahana ki ja rahi hai.
• Kisko Faida Hoga: Chote gharane jo 201 se 250 units ke darmeyan fall karte hain, unhe ab ghair-protected heavy rates nahi dene parenge.
• Monthly Savings: Subsidized slab milne se hazaron rupaye ki mahana bachat ka imkaan hai.

2. 6-Month Penalty Rule Khatam Karne Ki Tajweez

Purane nizam mein agar koi protected consumer ek mahine ke liye bhi 200 units se upar chala jata tha, toh us par agle 6 mahine ke liye protected status khatam kar ke heavy tariff aaid kar diya jata tha. Power Division ab is penalty rule ko khatam karne ke liye working kar raha hai taake sirf ek mahine ke extra use par awam par 6 mahine ka bojh na paray.

3. Income-Based Target Subsidies Aur BISP Integration

Power Minister ke mutabiq, hakoomat ek naya Targeted Income-Based Subsidy System bhi tayyar kar rahi hai. Is naye system ko Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) ke data ke sath link kiya jayega taake sirf haqeeqatan mustahiq aur ghareeb gharanon ko hi bijli par subsidy mil sakay.

Is ke alawa, solar panel use karne wale aamir gharane jo grid ki electricity 200 units se kam karke subsidy le rahe the, unhe is naye targeted framework ke tehat filter out kiya jayega.

4. Yeh Relief Kab Se Lagu Hoga?

Power Division ke mutabiq detail proposal aur figures ki reconciliation par 1 se 1.5 mahine ka waqt lagega. Federal Cabinet ki manzoori aur NEPRA (National Electric Power Regulatory Authority) ki taraf se official notification jari hone ke baad hi yeh naya slab billing mein shamil kiya jayega.
