Today, in National Assembly, Federal Minister for Industries and Production Mian Hammad Azhar presented the relief oriented budget for the next fiscal year with a total of 7294.9 billion rupees. The budget documents show the 11.9% increment in defense budget. The defense budget for the year of 2020-21 would be Rs1289. However, India's 🇮🇳 defense budget is six times bigger than Pakistan's🇵🇰

Moreover , the budget of Rs1,289 billion does not include Rs369 billion allocated for pensions of retired military personnel and Rs324 billion for the armed forces' development program.
