PESHAWAR: The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) has approved amendments to the revenue-sharing formula for the funds collected under the Land Use and Building Control Authority (LUBCA).
The government will distribute 75% of total revenue after expenses to the Tehsil Municipal Administrations (TMAs) and Urban Area Development Authorities (UADAs) as service charges according to the new amendment.
The Local Government, Elections & Rural Development Department has issued a formal notification which shows the new administrative changes.
The notification states that the decision was made during the fifth meeting of the Provincial Land Use and Building Control Council, held on September 11, 2025, where the existing revenue-sharing system was reviewed and amended.
The Land Use and Building Control Authority will collect all revenue from different sources which will subsequently be stored in its official bank account. The Bank of Khyber’s Civil Secretariat Branch in Peshawar has been specified as the account for this purpose.
The authority will distribute 75% of its collected revenue to TMAs and UADAs because these organizations assist with land use and building control enforcement at local sites and have received authority from the CPCO and PCO.
The government plans to use this amount for service charges which include payments to TMAs and UADAs and funding of local resources that will help improve enforcement of land use and building control regulations.
The government has announced that the notification will start following its current schedule.
KP govt implements new promotion rules for civil servants
Earlier, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has introduced new rules for the promotion of provincial civil servants to make the process more organized, transparent, and merit-based. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Civil Servants Promotion Rules 2026 were approved by the Chief Minister and will be implemented immediately.
The new system establishes two provincial selection boards. The first board will handle promotions for officers eligible for higher ranks, while the second board will focus on promotions for mid-level officers. The Chief Secretary of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will head the higher-level board, while the Additional Chief Secretary will lead the second board. Departmental promotion committees will establish a presence at the district level to conduct initial assessments, resulting in recommendations sent to the designated boards.
The new rules establish that all positions between grades 19 and 21 will become elective posts that require performance reports, training evaluations, and selection board decisions to determine promotion eligibility. The promotion process for grade 18 positions and below will follow a non-elective procedure that uses seniority as the primary criterion, combined with performance evaluations.
The new promotion criteria specify that for grade 18, performance reports will carry full weight. The selection board will use three criteria to evaluate promotion for positions in grade 19 and above which include 40% performance reports and 30% training evaluations plus 30% of the selection board’s overall assessment.
The rules define the minimum service time candidates must complete to be promoted. The system requires candidates to work 5 years at grade 17 before they can be promoted to grade 18; they must work 12 years to become eligible for grade 19, and 14 years to reach grade 20.
