The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) successfully passed an amendment in the National Assembly to increase salaries and allowances for its members. Proposed by Abdul Qadir Patel of the PPP, the amendment aims to boost the perks and privileges available to parliamentarians. This change, incorporated into the Salary and Allowances Act via the Finance Bill, includes raising the travel allowance for assembly members from Rs. 10 to Rs. 25 per kilometer. Additionally, unused annual airline tickets for parliament members will now carry over to the next year instead of expiring. The amendment also raises the annual travel vouchers from 25 to 30. Furthermore, the authority to set salaries and allowances for parliament members has shifted from the federal government to the finance committee of the respective house.
