Sindh for urbanisation criteria in NFC Award

KARACHI - The notification for the composition of new National Finance Commission (NFC) is likely to be issued by acting president Mohammad Mian Soomro very soon which was deferred by former president Pervez Musharraf, sources in finance ministry told The Nation on Tuesday.

The summary for composition of new NFC award was waiting on the table of President Pervez Musharraf but he did not sign it deliberately, a senior official of Sindh government said. He hoped that the acting president is expected to give the approval for composition of NFC within a week.

The four provincial finance departments are busy preparing cases to get more shares in sixth NFC award which will start its working after getting nod from the acting president.
