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/data, the
same may be provided with the prior approval of the Federal Statistics
Authority, i.e., the Secretary, Statistics Division.
