Pension matters

March 08, 2021

The PTI-led government has allowed a 25 percent increase in the salaries of civil servants (up to Grade 19) of selected departments. Now, the government should also provide some relief to pensioners as well.

In the past, the government used to increase salaries by 10 percent without any exceptions. The government should reconsider its decision and include pensioners and governments employees of all departments.
