Universal Service Fund - Pakistan

Universal Service Fund promotes the development of telecommunication services in un-served and under-served areas throughout the country.

The Universal Service Fund (USF) was established under the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-organization) Act of 1996, with its legal framework defined in Sections 33A & 33B. The USF Rules 2006, notified by the Federal Government, led to the creation of the Universal Service Fund Company (USFCo), a not-for-profit entity registered under Section 42 of the Companies Ordinance 1984 (now the Companies A

ct 2017). The USF Policy (2006) set operational guidelines, later refined by the Telecommunication Policy (2015) to enhance connectivity in unserved and underserved areas. The USF Board, comprising professionals from the public and private sectors, follows governance best practices, as outlined in the USF Rules 2006. The Board composition was amended in February 2023 under Rule 11(1) to ensure effective oversight and strategic direction. Given below is the composition of the board:
