Pay and Allowances (Salary) New Appointed Employee 2023-24 Pakistan BPS-01 to BPS-18
I have prepared the Chart of Salary New Appointed Employee 2023-24 Pay Scale Wise in Pakistan. This pay and allowances chart is for BPS-01 to BPS-18 employees who got fresh appointments in Federal and provinces (Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Gilgit Baltistan (GB) and Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ&K). The salary in this new chart of 2023-2024 is different from the Salary Chart of Fresh Appointed Employees in 2022-23 in Pakistan BPS-wise. I have also made amendments to the new salary chart for 2023-24. The main amendment is the inclusion of Group Insurance, benevolent Fund, and GP Fund Subscription amount that I included in the new salary chart. The other reason for the difference in salary is the addition of Adhoc Relief Allowance 2023 @ 35% and 30% for BPS-01 to BPS-16 and BPS-17 and above respectively.

Why Increase in House Rent Allowance (HRA) in Budget 2023-24 Employees Demand?
All employees of Pakistan demand an Increase in house Rent Allowance (HRA) in Budget 2023-24 Pakistan. There is news of a 30% increase in salary in Budget 2023-24 for the employees. The employees have a big issue with HRA too as it is very serious as the rate of House Rent Allowance that the employees are getting is meager as compared to the actual rents of houses they hired. The rates of HRA are not only very high in big cities but the small/other cities have also high rates of Rented House.
