Infrastructure Development in Pakistan

[z9-ec]

I think this is incorrect. I have heard this rumour many times but I don't think Karachi alone contributes 70% of Pakistan's revenue keeping the fact that most of the industrial areas in Pakistan are located in Punjab. I think 70% figure is referred to something else. BTW useful information for you



and if you remember Pakistan's major production is agriculture and textile and both of these industries are located in Punjab it is difficult to believe that Karachi alone contributes 70% of Pakistan's revenues.

Your logic is flawed. You have mistaken revenue as GDP. That is a common mistake. Revenue is TAX, which is what government collects and spends for development throughout the country. BTW, agriculture only accounts for 20+% of GDP.

Currently there are about 4 or 5 LTUs in Pakistan. Karachi LTU (LARGE TAX UNIT) this includes entire Sindh contributes 70% of Pakistan's revenue (TAX).

In 2011 Karachi LTU collected 569 billion Source to Lahore LTU (entire Punjab) which only collected 108 billion Source in 2011.

Here's where the grievance kicks in. Punjab gets 52% of this amount whereas other parts get scraps.

Karachi is Pakistan's port almost all oil, resources and etc come through Karachi Port or Port Qasim.

Most of our industry is based in Karachi. Waves, Dawlance and etc. Have a look at this.

No need to respond to people who don't know or don't want to know that Pakistan's more than 70% Revenue is based on Indirect Taxes which is actually paid by consumers and most of the companies has head offices in Karachi so it's deposited there. Change Indirect Tax Laws and make it that these taxes must be collected by the provinces where products are sold/consumed it will clear lot of misconceptions.

PS: This thread is related to developments so keep it on topic

There is nothing to spend in Sindh except in Karachi. Rest of Sindh and most of Balochistan is run by landlords and you know very well how they allocate money, basically in their personal investment and in their own pockets. I would advise you to kick their a$$ first before Punjab gives its own share. Don't blame all your mess on Punjabis! Its your problem and your provincial government is responsible!

Balochistan is barren desert land where terrorists kill whoever is not Baloch. Forget it. Eve if we try to develop Balochistan and someone from Sindh or Punjab wants to work there, they'll be shot.

Punjab has the largest population and welcomes everyone. It should be given priority.

You can't put all money on big area, you have to develop city after city, this way the country is developed. For instance in Balochistan you start from Quetta & Gawadar make developments on security/police, build industrial zones etc etc. There may be some people who will oppose everything in beginning but soon as they will see their living standards going up they will welcome it. Same thing in Sindh, Karachi need more funds to be an international standard city, then Hyderabad could be developed & then Sukkur. Same goes for Northern provinces/territories. Also rest of Pakistani should start paying their tax now, it is duty of every Pakistani.

Pakistan should now focus on investments in industrial sector. Too many malls but no too many people to buy items. What i'm trying to say is to give lot of jobs to peoples otherwise who will go in these big malls to spend money?
