Finance Minister AMA Muhith has said that there is no plan to offer any new increment to government employees. He referred to reports by some media agencies as “totally false” which stated salaries of government employees would be raised once again.
He made this remark on Sunday while speaking to journalists at his office in the Secretariat. According to the new pay scale, those who are in Grades 20 to 6 will get increment at the rate of 5 percent. For Grade 5, the rate will be 4.5 percent while for Grades 3 and 4 it will be 4 percent, and for Grade 2 it will be 3.75 percent of the basic.
Muhith said a cell should be formed with active participation of the Public Administration Ministry and it will submit a report within three months detailing how the annual pay hike mechanism will work. “The mechanism will be effective before the next national elections,” he said.
In 2015, the government announced a new pay scale comprising 20 grades. The salary of the highest grade (Grade-1) is Tk 78,000 (fixed) and the initial basic of the lowest grade (Twentieth) is Tk 8,250.
