00:00The problem is that we already make solar panels for Rs 21.
00:07Let's say I have installed a solar panel and if I get electricity, I would sell it for Rs 21 to the power generation companies and I would be happy with it.
00:18But the first cut was made from Rs 21 to Rs 11 and now I have a loss in that too.
00:24And the power generation companies who are already selling electricity units have already lost Rs 50 to Rs 51.
00:32They were already earning Rs 30 in this, Rs 50 minus Rs 21.
00:35Now it will be Rs 50 minus Rs 11, so let's talk about all this.
00:39And I also have a fear that if someone is not using solar panels and not using electricity,
00:45you can put a tax on them.
00:47Why are you not using a solar panel? You use it or we will put a tax on you.
00:50Or you contribute to the country's economy.
00:52We should contribute to the country's economy.
00:54We should contribute to the country's economy.
00:56We have with us the expert in this field, Mr. Anil Mumtaz.
00:58Mr. Anil, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
01:00Good morning to Bakhabar Savera.
01:02Do you have a solar panel installed?
01:04And if so, are you ready to pay this tax?
01:08This is a direct question.
01:10Assalam-o-Alaikum, Mr. Anil Mumtaz.
01:12Can you hear me?
01:14Yes, we can hear you.
01:16Mr. Anil, there is a lot of distortion in your voice.
01:28So let's reconnect with you.
01:30So that we can get some information from what you are saying.
01:34And our viewers too.
01:36So now there is going to be more burden on the pockets of the people.
01:39What will happen?
01:41But this will reduce the number of people who are using solar panels.
01:45And why should it reduce?
01:47Mr. Anil, you have the same question.
01:49Yes, I have the same question.
01:51Mr. Anil, do tell us about this news.
01:53And increase our knowledge.
01:55But my first question is,
01:57Do you have a solar panel installed?
01:59And if so, are you ready to pay this tax?
02:01As a common man.
02:03Look, any tax that is not in accordance with electricity.
02:09Look, the money that is taken for electricity.
02:11First of all, remember that electricity is a utility.
02:13It is a basic need.
02:15This is not a waste.
02:17Remember this.
02:19No one knows the meaning of utility.
02:21And this government is taking advantage of this.
02:23It is running it as a business.
02:25And they have ruined the whole of Pakistan.
02:27I will use the word ruined.
02:29I will not use it less than this.
02:31Because now it is the limit.
02:33In everyone's heart.
02:35Absolutely.
02:37Now they have told themselves.
02:39They will have a loss of one rupee ninety.
02:41And who are they giving?
02:43Three crores.
02:45A total of three crores and ninety lakhs.
02:47Consumers of the whole of Pakistan.
02:49Three crores are being affected.
02:51They will have to pay a subsidy of one rupee ninety.
02:55Brother, why are you giving a subsidy?
02:57Why don't you pay the original cost?
03:01For this, let me tell you.
03:03I have raised a question.
03:05No one in the whole of Pakistan is answering me.
03:07NEPRA has issued a license for the generation of forty-eight thousand megawatts.
03:15They have a transmission line of twenty-six thousand megawatts.
03:21That too is under utilization.
03:23Because instead of copper, they have installed an aluminum conductor.
03:29Now I will tell you about the distributor.
03:33NEPRA has sanctioned the load of one lakh two thousand four hundred and forty-eight megawatts.
03:49Now tell me, how will the generation of forty-eight thousand megawatts compensate one lakh two thousand four hundred and forty-eight?
04:01Do you see such engineering?
04:05Can it be compensated?
04:09One lakh two thousand four hundred and forty-eight megawatts.
04:13Mr. Anil, you have talked about this.
04:17Let's shift the focus to solar.
04:19Why is this tax being imposed?
04:21Is this tax justifiable?
04:25Because the government is not presenting its law.
04:27Let me tell you.
04:29First of all, the question arises, why is the ministry answering?
04:33Tax is not the job of the ministry.
04:35This is the job of the finance ministry.
04:37It is not the job of the energy ministry.
04:39Where is the finance ministry?
04:41What is their loss?
04:43And this is the thing.
04:45How did they assume one rupee ninety?
04:47That we will have to pay the loss first.
04:49No one talks about the actual cost of electricity.
04:53The actual cost of electricity.
04:55Let me tell you.
04:57Right now, my bill is in front of me.
04:59April 2024.
05:01It is of a consumer.
05:03It is a solar consumer.
05:05They are giving him thirty-five rupees fifty-seven in off-peak.
05:07How much are they giving?
05:09Thirty-five point five seven rupees.
05:11They are giving it in off-peak.
05:13They are giving K electric.
05:15And they are giving forty-one point eighty-eight ninety-nine in peak.
05:19Why are they giving this?
05:23The last thing.
05:25The man who is selling this.
05:27He is giving tax.
05:29And K electric is imposing all taxes on him.
05:31The electricity that K electric has given him.
05:33They have imposed electricity duty on it.
05:37They have also imposed sale tax.
05:39They have also imposed TV license fees.
05:41Everything is there in it.
05:43Yes, there is an additional charge in front of me.
05:45And what I have to tell you.
05:47Fuel adjustment.
05:49Fuel adjustment.
05:51They have taken seven hundred and fourteen rupees.
05:53And what is the charge?
05:55I have not told you the charge.
05:57In eighteen thousand.
05:59Thirteen hundred is this charge.
06:01Sixteen hundred is this.
06:03Six hundred and seventeen rupees is this.
06:05And those who are not working.
06:07Their tax is also going from here.
06:09They are taking double tax from you.
06:11And I will tell you the biggest thing.
06:13You tell the annual report of K electric.
06:15They have not given tax even once.
06:17To the government of Pakistan.
06:19It is true that it is shown in the annual report.
06:21But the annual report does not reveal that.
06:23The tax that you collected.
06:25You reflected it there.
06:27And I will tell you one more thing.
06:29The FPR.
06:31It is going backwards for three to four years.
06:35But I did not tell you.
06:37Why did the government get so worried?
06:41Solarization is increasing.
06:43The burden is being placed on the poor.
06:45Please explain this explanation to us.
06:47Please explain this explanation to us.
06:53The government has been open for two years.
06:55Two to three years.
06:57In fact, it has been three years.
06:59If you allow me to speak.
07:01And if you do not cut it.
07:03Arif Naqvi is in England.
07:07Everyone will know.
07:09He is the base of this.
07:11I will not go further.
07:13To compensate him.
07:15You must have seen.
07:17Within three years.
07:19They have calculated the rate of tariff.
07:21The people who made it.
07:23They themselves are surprised.
07:25What are we doing?
07:27You made electricity for 60 rupees.
07:29If you look at the electricity.
07:31It is called CPPHE.
07:33It is called CPPHE.
07:35Its basket rate.
07:37It is 9 to 11 rupees.
07:39How much is the basket rate?
07:41In that.
07:43Sir, is this tax applicable?
07:45Tell me.
07:47Solar.
07:49Is solar tax applicable?
07:51It will be applied.
07:53Just like the wording.
07:55If I teach you the wording.
07:57That 1.90 rupees is coming.
07:59This will be applied.
08:01It will not be applied now.
08:03It will be applied after some time.
08:05They have warmed up.
08:07They have warmed up.
08:09They will do it.
08:11Thank you so much.

08:15Thank you.
