The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has requested Pakistan to impose a tax on monthly pensions exceeding Rs 100,000 as part of a new bailout program. The IMF's demand is expected to gain legislative support to tax wealthy pensioners. Pakistan remains committed to the IMF loan program and must exercise fiscal discipline to qualify. The IMF also demanded an increase in general sales tax (GST) to 18% on commodities and services, and the end of GST exemption.
