Rows F and G are not costs. They turn the dollar price into rupees a litre: the State Bank’s exchange rate, and the litres in one barrel.

Every subtotal matches the rows it adds up, to within a paisa (Rs 0.01). OGRA rounds each figure it prints, so a hand sum can differ by a paisa.

no Pakistan State Oil (PSO) notification applies to 2026-10-28 — PSO did not notify a price on this date, or notified it more than once with the notifications disagreeing — so OGRA's totals were not cross-checked and no kerosene or light diesel price was recorded
