ISLAMABAD: Pakistan collected Rs1.567 trillion in petroleum levy during the fiscal year 2025-26, exceeding the budgeted target of Rs1.468 trillion by Rs99 billion, according to data released by the Ministry of Finance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Finance Ministry said the government\u2019s total tax and non-tax revenue stood at Rs19.773 trillion during the last fiscal year.

Under the National Finance Commission (NFC) Award, the provinces received Rs7.668 trillion during FY2025-26, compared with Rs6.854 trillion in FY2024-25.
