Officials informed the cabinet that more than 548,000 beneficiaries are currently receiving payments, while Rs1.096 billion has already been disbursed so far.
In a separate decision, the cabinet approved a reduction in sales tax for motorcycle-based ride-hailing services, cutting the rate from 5% to 2%. The move is expected to reduce provincial revenue by around Rs120 million annually but support growth in the digital transport sector.
The chief minister stated that the initiative will benefit online riders and help promote modern transport services in Sindh.
