Before this, PM Shahbaz Sharif announced an increase in Pay and Pension wef 1st April 2022. Now the Notification of Pension increase was issued by the Federal Government. There are chances that a 10% increase in pay delayed the Govt till the Annual Budget 2022. The Federal Government may revise the pay scales in the coming budget. The reason for this same is that the previous Government did not revise the pay scales during its four years period. The last time this current Govt revised the pay scales was in 2017. The date of announcement of the annual budget 2022-23, the Federal Government already scheduled. However final date, the Government will decide at a later stage.
