Govt to increase the travel allowance so most Parliamentarians are able to get free petrol

The government has drafted a bill to increase the travel allowance of parliamentarians from Rs10 per kilometer to Rs30 per kilometer.

The bill has been drafted on the request of parliamentarians who requested to increase travel allowance which has not been increased since 1980. Based on their request, if the parliamentarian owns a civic or corolla or a smaller car, their petrol will be free.

Here is how:

Lets see how much it would cost if a Parliamentarian is traveling from Lahore to Islamabad.

How much is the distance between Lahore to Islamabad?

The distance from Lahore to Islamabad is approximately 380 kilometers.

If we go by previous allowance the parliamentarians would get Rs. 3,800 to travel between Lahore and Islamabad.

If the allowance is increased to Rs30 per kilometer they will get Rs. 11,400 for the same route.

If a person is using a civic, corolla or a smaller car to travel from Lahore to Islamabad they will consume around 47 liters of petrol which will cost around Rs. 12,000.
