ISLAMABAD: On Wednesday, Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar approved an increase in the salary packages for management positions (MP-I, MP-II, and MP-III) effective from October 1.
The Ministry of Finance issued an office memorandum outlining these changes.
The basic pay and salary package for MP-I scale have been raised to a minimum of Rs629,230 per month and a maximum of Rs772,780 per month, compared to the previous minimum of Rs433,950 per month and a maximum of Rs532,950 per month.
Additionally, the house rent has been revised to a minimum of Rs146,450 per month and a maximum of Rs205,900 per month, while the provision for utilities has been set at a minimum of Rs28,500 per month and a maximum of Rs35,240 per month.
For MP-II, the basic salary has been increased to a minimum of Rs263,180 per month and a maximum of Rs421,100 per month. As for MP-III, the minimum salary has been adjusted to Rs184,230 per month, with a maximum of Rs263,190 per month. The office memorandum also specifies the details of utilities and house rent.
It is important to note that the expenses of these officers will be covered by the respective divisions, departments, or organizations from their allocated budget for the fiscal year 2023-24. Existing incumbents in the MP scales will automatically receive the revised MP package based on their previous salary stage before the revision.
However, any extension of the contract for MP scale holders will be contingent upon a satisfactory performance evaluation by the performance evaluation committee and approval from the competent authority, as per the rules.
The monetization of the transport facility will remain unchanged at existing rates, such as Rs95,910 for MP-I, Rs77,430 for MP-II, and Rs65,060 for MP-III per month. All other terms and conditions will remain consistent with the management policies.
The Position Scales Policy 2020, issued by the Establishment Division on June 22, 2020, under office memorandum No.1/3/2020-E-6, will continue to govern the perquisites and facilities available to MP scale holders, including TA/DA, medical allowance, and gratuity, which remain unaltered.
