      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has announced December 31 as the deadline for all members of parliament and provincial assemblies to submit their yearly statements of assets and liabilities, including those of their spouses and dependents.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under Section 137 of the Elections Act, 2017, all parliamentarians must submit annual statements of assets and liabilities as of June 30 of the preceding financial year. These details must be provided on Form B for the 2024–2025 financial year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On January 1, the ECP will publish the names of members who fail to submit the required statements within the specified period.

&lt;p&gt;The ECP further said that any member submitting fake statement of assets and liabilities under this section in material particulars may, within 120 days from the date submission of the statement, be proceeded against for committing the offence of corrupt practice.&lt;/p&gt;
