The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has greenlit the relief proposal for consumers using up to 200 units, allowing the authorities to collect electricity bills in instalments, sources told Geo News Thursday.
However, the interim government’s plan to provide relief to those consuming up to 400 units of electricity per month was rejected by the Fund, the sources added.
“The sources said that the final approval to collect bills in instalments will be taken from the federal cabinet,” adding that about 4 million electricity consumers are likely to get temporary relief from this initiative.
If relief had been granted to those with up to 400 units of power consumption, 32 million consumers could have benefited, the sources mentioned.
