ISLAMABAD: In a significant move, President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday officially approved a revision in the composition of the 11th National Finance Commission (NFC).
This decision, which marks a notable shift in the structure of the commission, follows Balochistan provincial government’s recent revision of its nominated representative for the NFC.
The Balochistan government had initially submitted a nomination, but the new revision now recommends Mahfooz Ali Khan as the province’s non-ex-officio member of the 11th NFC.

Additionally, President Zardari has provided his assent to the Criminal Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
