BPS Pay Scales and Salaries of Government Servants in Pakistan

BPS Pay Scales in Pakistan

Though there are also some other Pay Scale Systems in Pakistan except Basic Pay Scale Structure (BPS) but BPS is widely used pay scale system in Pakistan. Most of the Government Departments and Organizations follow BPS System. SPS and army scales are examples of other pay systems in Pakistan while private organizations/companies/industries are free to make their own pay structures while Government fixes a minimum salary of any private employee.

BPS scales are regularly revised after every few years. Previously these were revised in 2008 and now after three years these are once again revised in 2011 keeping in view the inflation rate in Pakistan.

Here I am giving BPS pay structure in brief.

BPS - Basic Pay Scales

SPS - Special Pay Scales

Civil servants are also entitled various other allowances (as per their department/organization rules and their service terms) along with their basic pay, as a part of their Gross Pay. These allowances may include Ad hoc Relief Allowance, Medical Allowance, Special Pay, Conveyance Allowance, House Rent Allowance and several other miscellaneous allowances, which are applicable.

The government also pays pensions to its retired employees.

Federal Government and provincial governments have their separate pay systems closely similar to each other.

Ad-hoc Relief Allowance 2012

Government of Pakistan has announced an ad-hoc relief allowance of 20 percent of the running basic pay to all the employees of federal pay for the year 2012 ~ 2013. Provincial governments also announced the same for their employees.
