The special dispensation is admissible to those Civil Servants of the Federal Government who are in BS-01 to BS-16 and receive Disparity Reduction Allowance (excluding Employees paid out of Defence Estimates ). The employees of HIT are paid out of Defence Estimates so they are not eligible for this dispensation.
