    Despite issuance of clarification on the subject by HEC, Finance Division has not yet issued any sort of revision. Govt departments are referring the previous letter of Fin Div. and not granting this Allowance to MS degree (18 years) holders……… They are too busy in resolving their ineligible Finance Minister’s problems, i think. Even I also have sent a complaint on PM Citizen Portal but still no response. I think there is no priorities about Justice, humanity and such discrepancies faced by employees.
