ISLAMABAD – Sources indicate that the Government is planning to give a relief package to its employees along with a significant increase in salaries and pensions under the budget 2025-26.
Official resources reported that the government is planning to increase the salaries and pensions of all the public sector employees by 10% in the upcoming budget. Moreover, a 30% disparity allowance is also expected for the employees in grades 1 to 16 to address long-standing pay gaps in lower-tier government positions.
A 15% increment is under review in the salaries of the employees of grades 17 to 22.
This initiative reflects the government’s wider commitment to ease the financial burden of citizens who are facing high inflation and rising living expenses.
In addition, there is a proposal to integrate the 2022 ad-hoc relief allowance into the base salary. This strategic shift would not only alleviate immediate financial pressures but also yield substantial long-term advantages for pension calculations and future salary increments, paving the way for a more secure economic future.
