Imports and Exports (Control) (Amendment) Bill 2023, aimed at addressing hardship situations received from the business community and other quarters for one-time relaxation of import/export-related bans and limitations, was also returned.

President Alvi also returned the Higher Education Commission (HEC) measure, which sought to extend the term of the HEC chairman to four years. Other legislation that has been returned includes the public sector commission amendment bill, the Pakistan Institute of Management Sciences bill, the Horizon University bill, the Federal Urdu University amendment bill, the NFC Institute, the Multan amendment bill, and the National Institute for Technology bill.
