The National Planning Commission has approved the first amendment to the procedures governing Federal Special and Complementary Grants. Following the revision, provincial and local governments have been invited to submit project proposals through the electronic reporting system by February 12, 2026. The amendment aims to promote balanced social, economic, and infrastructure development while strengthening sub-national governance under the Intergovernmental Fiscal Arrangement Act, 2017. Projects must be completed within three years. Under the revised rules, special grants for local levels range from Rs 2.5 million to Rs 50 million, while provincial projects may receive between Rs 50 million and Rs 100 million.
