Coverage and method
How the register is compiled
- Coverage
- 7 official listing pages maintained by DRAP, FBR, NEPRA, National Assembly and PBS. The full list of sources appears below.
- Updating
- Sources are checked four times daily, at 06:20, 10:20, 14:20 and 18:20 Pakistan Standard Time. New publications are added as they are found.
- Content
- Each entry reproduces the title and date as published by the issuing authority and links to the official document. Instrument type and sector are assigned systematically from the title.
- Exclusions
- Procurement notices, vacancies, events and comparable administrative announcements are not listed.
- Other authorities
- Some authorities (Finance Division, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Law, OGRA, PTA, SBP and SECP) do not allow automatic reading of their websites. PIVRA staff add their documents to the register by hand when they are found, so coverage of these is less complete and less immediate. They are covered in full in the regulatory monitoring service for clients.
- Use
- The register is provided for reference. It does not constitute legal, tax or investment advice, and the official text prevails. Corrections may be sent to info@pivra.org.
