- Remittance incentives to banks abolished as IMF steps in
The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has abolished the Sohni Dharti Remittance Programme (SDRP) and Telegraphic Transfer Charges Incentive Scheme (TTCIS), effective July 1, 2026, following IMF scrutiny. The incentives, which cost up to Rs120bn annually, were discontinued to address concerns over non-performance-linked financial allocations. Banks will continue offering free remittance transfers to users despite the scheme’s termination.
