The expectation of Employees from the Coming Budget
The employees of Pakistan are expecting much from this budget. This is mainly the last budget to utilize by this Government. The employees hope that Government will do much for the employees in this coming budget. The employees demanding the following to increase/grant:
- Revision of Basic Pay Scales 2022
- Merging of All Adhoc Relief /Disparity Reduction Allowance/ Special Allowance
- Upgradation of various pay scales to remove disparity of all employees
- Grant of Time Scale
- Increase in House Rent Allowance for All Employees
- Increase in Pension
- Enhancement in Medical Allowance

As the Government now in Pakistan changed, Now the combined Government of PMLN, PPPP, JUI, MQM, BAP, and other political parties in Pakistan exists.
The track record of the past shows that PPP always increased the salaries. However, if we look into the matter of Revised Pay Scales, then PMLN played a vital role in this regard.
