MUMBAI: Pakistan finance minister Shaukat Aziz has announced that only the country's television set owners needed to pay an extra fee in every electricity bill for over 100 units as television licence fee.

He added that those who didn't own a TV set could sign a declaration and no fee would be added to their bills.

Shaukat Aziz in his budget speech on 12 June had announced that owing to difficulties in payment of annual television licence fee of Rs 300, it was decided to divide the amount and add it to electricity bills.
