The government has finalized its plan to charge consumers Rs. 9.90 per unit under the head of fuel adjustment charges for June.
Sources have told Propakistani that despite the news of relief in Fuel Charge Adjustment (FCA), fuel adjustment charges for June will not be withdrawn. The government plans to charge the FCA in a stepwise procedure.
Consumers under 200 units (protected consumers) will pay Rs. 3.90 per unit under the head of FCA in August. From October 2022 to March 2023, protected consumers will be charged Rs. 1 per unit in fuel adjustment charges. Sources further informed that protected consumers will not be charged any fuel price adjustment in the bills for August.
Furthermore, non-protected consumers will be charged Rs. 1.65 per unit under FCA from October 2022 to March 2023. The government will also not charge any FCA to private agricultural consumers in August. From October 2022 to March 2023, agricultural consumers will be charged Rs. 1.65 per unit in fuel adjustment charges.
The consumers who have paid the Rs. 9.90 per unit FCA will see this adjusted in their bill for September. Those who have not paid the August bill will be issued new bills under the new mechanism.

Is article ko theek se samajhne k liye pehle yeah to batado yeah PROTECTED and NON-PROTECTED hota kiya hai.
Consumers using up to 200 units per month from past 6 months fall under PROTECTED consumers on the other hand consumers using units more than 200 units are called Un-PROTECTED. And there is different rates for both types of users.
Govt should widen the un-protected slab to at least 400 units. Because electricity is not a luxury but necessarily and average salary person have a full right to at least sleep with air conditioner on at night in blazing hot summer. 200 units are nothing but a joke. And why should common citizen have to pay FPA when DISCOS are still not able to stop electricity theft and remain incompetent from decades to not install more renewable energy plants. FPA as a fine should be paid by those departments or just privatise them.
