Islamabad May 16 2022: Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue Mr. Miftah Ismail presided over a meeting of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet at Finance Division today.
Petroleum Division submitted a summary for reimbursement of Price Differential Claims (PDCs) of Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and Refineries.
The price differential is to be paid to the Oil Marketing Companies/Refineries by the Government as a subsidy in the wake of Government’s decision to keep the petroleum products’ prices fixed at the level notified on 1st March, 2022.
The ECC after deliberation approved supplementary grant of Rs. 55.48 billion for disbursement of PDC to OMCs/Refineries for the first fortnight of May, 2022.
Due to continuously rising trend of oil prices in the international market, the quantum of subsidy has been on higher side.
