Decorations Act 1975 is a law enacted in April 1975 by the Parliament of Pakistan. It allows the government, in particular the president to confer, withdraw, postpone or announce civil and gallantry awards for Pakistani and foreign citizens. It also allows president to discontinue active awards, to restore discontinued awards or to establish new decorations through prime minister's office.
It is particularly aimed at to decide the eligibility criteria to confer awards in various fields such as art, literature, academic activities, sports, philosophy, public service or history. It also seeks to recognize the contribution of citizens or foreign nationals to the national interest of Pakistan or other private or public endeavors.[1]
