46. FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS IN
1973 CONSTITUTION
It was made obligatory for the
government to compose NFC at an
interval extending not more than 5
years resource distribution among the
federation and their respective units.
47. • In this award fewer taxes were included in the
divisible pool which consisted of income tax, sales tax
and export duty while the criterion used for resource
redistribution was recommended to be population.

The third NFC award 1985 as of its
previous 1979 award failed to produce
any fruits. The resource distribution
from divisible pools remains same as of
1974 up to 1990.
50. THE 4TH NFC AWARD 1990
• After almost 16 years of break in declaring a
consensus NFC award, the 1990 NFC award came
up with some positive recommendations in April
1991 under the democratic government of Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif.
• The most significant development under this
award was the expansion of the divisible pool.
Still population remained the sole element for
revenue sharing criteria in the NFC award.
51. • The sharing of the divisible pool between
federal and provincial governments continued
to remain at 20:80 percent, respectively.

of the distribution criteria.

from the present 47.5% to 56% in the first year of
NFC (2010-2011) and 57.5% in the remaining years
of the award under the vertical distribution of
resources
• Share of Provinces was approximately Rs.39 billion

collection charges from 5.0 per cent to 1.0 per cent
