The government of Pakistan has established a fund at several banks to raise money for Diamer-Basha and Mohmand Dam through donations. Both local and foreign individuals, as well as companies, will be able to deposit their donations into the account.
The banks were advised to advertise the fund at their branches as well so the public could benefit from it. Any money coming to the account will be used to cover the cost incurred on dams’ construction. The account established for this purpose is different from the Federal Consolidated Fund as it is specified for dams only.
The account for the collection of these donations has been named as “Diamer-Basha and Mohmand Dam Fund 2018.”
The Account
As mentioned earlier, foreigners will also be able to make donations to the account. In this regard, Chief Finance and Accounts Officer at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been directed to receive donations and forward them to SBP from the overseas nationals.
Authorized officials at SBP and other branches where the funds will be received will duly sign all the receipts of donations.

SBP Banking Services Corporation (SBP BSC) will then receive the receipts of the payment from these banks.
The Accountant General of Pakistan Revenue (AGPR) has been tasked to handle the accounting of the receipts.
The government requested the public to donate as much as they can as well. According to the reports, the Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar also donated Rs 1 million into the account.
The Pakistan Armed Forces are contributing their share to the fund as well. According to ISPR’s Director General Asif Ghafoor, the armed forces’ officers will donate their 2-days’ pay while soldiers will donate a day’s pay to the fund. The DG ISPR announced about the donations in the tweet here:

Wah!! Wazir-e-Azam ka “Flood Relief Fund” yaad agaya… bachpan main apni chawaniyan or athhaniyan mohalle ke bank main pare Boxes main daal kar bari khushi se nachte the hum. Wo Pesa Patwari khagaye or ye pesa Neelum-Jehlum tax ki tarah WAPDA kha jayegi… :)
اب وہی پٹواری یوتھیا بن گئے ہیں.
HBL doesn’t allow interbank transfer to SBP
HBL doesn’t allow interbank transfer to SBP
Meezan doesnt allow inter bank transfers to state bank .
what the target money for this project?
UBL doesn’t allow inter bank transfer to SBP. They should have publicly notified about the account numbers of commercial banks too.
Though there is a deep mistrust of robbing politicians, this is one account created in a National interest that is vital for all of us. Any theft from this account will not remain hidden. Even the petty workers of the State Bank will raise hue and cry if any diversion of these funds takes place.
We have to start trusting or we and our coming generations will all be in Ethopia and Somalia like conditions. Anyway a donation of Rs.500/- or for some Rs.5000/- is not too great a risk.
Please do not hesitate from donating. You can, if still in doubt, even contribute as little as Rs.10/- via an SMS.
