KARACHI, Jan 29: The Sindh government has exempted all retired government employees of BPS-1 to 11, who own houses built over up to 300 Sq. yards, from property tax.

This was said by Muhammad Abdul Rauf Siddiqui, provincial minister for excise & taxation.

He was addressing a memorial seminar on the late writer and intellectual Hafiz Bashir Ahmed Ghaziabadi, says an official handout. The minister further said that widows had also been exempted from payment of property tax and the department would not send any notice to the people falling in those categories.

“In case any official of the excise & taxation department violates the government orders, he will be suspended from service,” the minister added.— PPI
