Abstract

In support of the One-unit scheme, it was argued that the administrative expenditure could be reduced by making West Pakistan as a single province. Thus, the aim of this paper is to investigate the financial implications on smaller provinces in general and Sindh in particular. This paper will also look at the distribution of loans among the units including the Punjab, Sindh, NWFP and Baluchistan and proves that the smaller provinces did not benefit from the development loan policy under the One-Unit rule.
