Pakistan has four provinces in 2024. These are:
- Balochistan
- Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
- Punjab
- Sindh
While Pakistan also includes the Islamabad Capital Territory, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan, these are not considered provinces in the same way as the four listed above. Multiple sources confirm this administrative structure. For example, the Government of Pakistan website lists these four provinces. Furthermore, reports from organizations like Amnesty International (https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/10/pakistan-flood-survivors-in-sindh-province-suffer-disease-and-food-insecurity-amid-government-inaction-new-testimony/) and the UK government (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6717aaa7d29a0f082ac9c174/Pakistan_Toponymic_Factfile.pdf) also reference these four provinces as the first-order administrative divisions. The administrative structure is consistently reported as four provinces across various reliable sources throughout 2024.
