You are really anxious to know about the rates of allowances that were granted in the past to Government Employees. You will surely know that what the benefits of the collection of all these allowances are. Surely many of you have been granted backdate up-gradation, backdate promotion, or backdate running pay scales, and much more. If the same situation is with you, then surely you need the rates of the Adhoc Relief Allowances that were granted in the past. Surely, your basic pay has been increased if you have backdated pay fixation, and you surely worry about the allowance rates to be increased along with the basic pay in connection with backdating pay fixation.
As these allowances have a strong relationship with the basic pay. Don’t worry about these rates; I am here to tell you the detail of all the Adhoc Relief Allowances since 1994. You will have to calculate the arrears amount of allowances in connection with the increase in pay in the past. Just use the rates mentioned below to calculate the arrears amount and enjoy.

Why the education departmwnt of KPK is still giving 33% of ARA 20Q3 AND 2014
