Government

Islamabad, August 2, 2025 — In a much-awaited relief measure, the Government of Pakistan has officially approved a 10% salary increase for all federal employees, effective immediately. This decision, announced after a federal cabinet meeting held on Friday, comes in response to ongoing inflation and the rising cost of living. The increase will apply to all BPS-1 to BPS-22 employees, including both civilian and armed forces personnel. 📈 The move is expected to benefit over 1.2 million government employees, and is being hailed as a step toward financial stability for the working class. Finance Minister Ahsan Shaukat stated: “The government recognizes the economic pressure on citizens. This raise is part of our broader strategy to support salaried individuals during tough times.” Analysts believe that this revision will boost morale and spending, positively impacting the economy. However, they also urge the government to monitor inflation to ensure the raise maintains real value over time. This raise will be reflected in the August payroll.
