- KP-BOIT in response to the IRS Dubai & Advertisement received tremendous response from local / foreign investors.
- Although all the advertised projects were initiated with the consent and collaboration of respective departments yet legal Complications whether the Projects should be executed under PPP Act; 2014 or Lease Policy were raised by the Concerned Departments resultantly received EOI’s could not be scrutinized for want of amendment in both PPP Act; 2014 and Lease Policy.
- Since Lease Policy’s amendment required approval of the Provincial Cabinet hence it took a short span of time and Lease Policy was amended by the Revenue Department as per requirements of the Investment scenario.
- The PPP Act; 2014 however consumed considerable time of more than one (01) year and four (04) months and finally the Act was amended in October, 2016.
