The National Assembly has unanimously approved approximately Rs. 3 trillion for Pakistan’s armed forces after clearing 125 demands for grants as part of the federal budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year.
The approval came during budget proceedings in the lower house, where lawmakers endorsed allocations for various government departments and institutions. The defence allocation represents a significant portion of the federal budget and is aimed at supporting operational readiness, national security requirements, modernization efforts, and related expenditures.
The passage of the grants marks an important step in finalizing the federal budget framework for the upcoming fiscal year, enabling government institutions to proceed with planned spending and development initiatives.
The development reflects the government's continued focus on maintaining defence capabilities while managing broader economic and fiscal priorities.
