Pay and Pension Commission recommends up to 70% pay raise

ISLAMABAD: The Pay and Pension Commission (PPC) has decided to recommend the government increase the salaries of its employees by 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% or 70% with effect from July 1, 2010, a senior official at the Ministry of Finance told Daily Times on Thursday.

The PPC’s recommendations would be implemented from the next fiscal year 2010-11 and it would be officially announced at the time of the annunciation of the 2010-11 budget on May 15, 2010, the official said.

The PPC, headed by former State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) governor Dr. Ishrat Hussain, is expected to conclude its deliberations on the pay and pension reforms today (Friday). The commission would be submitting its recommendations to the government before the March 23, 2010 deadline issued by the government in this regard.

The conveyance allowance for employees from BS 1 to 16 is being recommended at Rs 2,800 or Rs 3,000, keeping in view the unprecedented increase in public transport fares. This conveyance allowance would be recommended at Rs 5,000 for the officers who are not entitled to an official transport facility.

The medical allowance for the employees from BS 1 to 16 would be probably increased from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000 per month.

The official said that under the pension reforms for the next fiscal year, the PPC will most likely recommend a 25 percent increase in the pensions for the government employees who retired before June 30, 1997. The PPC would most likely recommend a 20-percent increase for those government employees who retired on or after July 1, 1997, he added.

  9. The honest officers are suffering badly from the high cost living today. Govt raise the salaries of armed forces and judiciary, why? Every body understand but nobody is ready to speak truth. Govt should increase the pay of all employees without any discrimination. It has become very hard to live within present salaries for all the employees. Govt should seriously consider the honest employees.

  14. This time the report of Pay and Pension Commission may be adopted 100% and government servants may be given facilities and pay / pension according to their budget / expenditures. As inflation is arising day by day but the income of government employees is not properly.

    Salam Sir,
    I am serving in federal department as Clerk.
    I have some suggestions for PPC and hope these points will definitely remove differences amongst the all government employees.
    That the allowances like house rent, medical, conveyance allowance and house acquisition must be equal to all government employees irrespective of their pay scales. By virtue of this adoption those employees who have to work and travel in far flung areas will not reluctant to move for their jobs.
    Further utility necessities are the same for officials and officers. There should be no discrimination of facilities/allowances with low paid employees since who are also human and have legitimate right to feed and educate their children. However, the raise of pay may be according to their pay scales.

  17. Dear Doctor,

    No doubt all government servants are suffering with this problem but first learn the manner to convey your message. The way you adopted is like a foolish man. If you want to leave the country then go ahead. You got your education on govt expenditures and now........? plz consider that amount also.

    salam being a govt: employee it is very difficult for me to meet the requirement of daily life. it is suggusted that for God sake raise the lower staff salaries and espassially of those who work in industries and factories. Hiring of a house is also an important issue need to be discussed. those who owns houses should not allow to claim house rent or self hiring. Only those who do not have houses should be eligable and this will help govt to save a large amount of money that could be spent on other social and developmental issues. Secondly elligablity criteria for claiming govt pention, the age limit of an employee in case of emergencies must exceed than ten year and forty five days. It should be take on board on humanitarian grounds.

    Dear Sir,
    1-Your last proposal is the best direction.
    There are many Possibilities like 30%, 40%, etc & I suggest you that to announced the ratio of the salary for increasement.
    2- The main other hot issue of Hiring/ ceiling you have not mentioned because Hiring/ ceiling is also hot & important issue, Please to decide the hiring to adjust with pay.
    In this case the hiring departments employees of all departments will be spared & Adjust them in other departments so the Government machinery deficiency controlled.
    Thanks

    Hope you will see soon.

    Besides increase of basic pay, please keep in mind the trended of increase rates of petroleum products in Pakistan and conveyance allowance may be fixed but indexation should also be allowed as done in case electricity and gas bills. Reasonable increase in rental ceiling is also required. It is appropriate to pay ceiling with pay so employee will rent house at their own will which will not effect the employees pocket on payment different of rent to the owners especially in case of Islamabad city.

    according to my opinion Teacher are basic part of sociaty espicialy praimery teacher, who is basic hero of education . I think praimery teachers scale and salery should be totaly diffrent and enough for giving better litracy rate and better achivement, since pakistan!s litracy rate is very poor then the mostly other countries I think its need to delibration.
