Islamabad: The National Assembly Wednesday approved amendments in the budget for the fiscal year 2022-23 to impose a Rs 50 levy on petroleum products.
Under the Finance Bill, the government has changed the cap on the petroleum development levy (PDL) from Rs30 per litre to Rs50 per litre.
However, the government hinted about increasing PDL to Rs50 per litre gradually.

The Minister also informed the members of the house that at present there is zero petroleum levy on the petroleum products.
