In a bid to promote legal remittance channels, the Pakistani government has introduced a tempting scheme for overseas Pakistanis.
Caretaker Finance Minister Dr. Shamsad Akhtar unveiled the plan, with a whopping Rs80 billion allocated, of which Rs20 billion is already with the State Bank of Pakistan.
The deal is straightforward: if you send over $100 through legal channels, you won't incur any transaction fees.
Plus, you'll rack up reward points that can be exchanged for government services or discounts on purchases.
Exchange companies aren't left out, either; they will receive marketing incentives through legal avenues.
To add excitement, a lottery system will dole out cash prizes to eligible senders.
This move aims to boost legitimate money transfers, benefiting both the economy and overseas Pakistanis, who contribute immensely to the nation's finances.
