The Ministry of Finance has formally approved a substantial increase in the House Rent Allowance, which will soon be presented to the federal cabinet for final approval. This decision will benefit all permanent and contract government employees from Grade 1 to 22.
According to sources, the new allowance will be calculated based on the current basic pay, marking a major shift from the 2008 pay scale system previously used. The move aims to ease the burden of rising inflation and soaring rental costs, particularly for lower-grade employees who have been most affected.
The summary will be discussed in the upcoming cabinet meeting, and once approved, the new allowance structure will be implemented across all federal departments nationwide. 📝🇵🇰
