Pakistan Bureau of Statistics
PBS’s previous policy for data sources was to provide aggregate-level data (tabulation) to users for free, and this will continue which means it is free. Users would be provided with special tabulation from sources of data in the required computer-readable format on demand, with charges deposited in the government treasury. If the Federal Statistics Authority, i.e., the Secretary, Statistics Division, receives a request for sensitive information or data, the same may be provided with the prior approval of the Federal Statistics Authority, i.e., the Secretary, Statistics Division.
