The federal cabinet has endorsed a proposal to enhance the pensions of federal government employees by 15 percent.
Additionally, the cabinet has sanctioned a notable raise in the salaries of federal government employees. Employees falling under grades 1 to 16 will witness a 25 percent salary hike, whereas those in grades 17 to 22 will experience a 20 percent increase.
It’s noteworthy that provincial governments are expected to emulate this decision and implement a 15 percent increase in pensions for their employees.
Both decisions are anticipated to be announced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif during his parliamentary address later today.
