What do The Employees expect from This Budget?

 The employees are in a pity condition now a day, especially the lower grade employees.  Although the Prime Minister has approved the summary of Time Scale Promotion for BPS-01 to BPS-16 Federal employees.  However, the employees are waiting for the Notification. This is not a big relief for the employees as it is not a promotion or an up-gradation of the posts.  If we look into the difference between Time Scale Promotion and General Promotion of the employees, the employees through time scale promotion will get a minor benefit.  Government should upgrade the posts that have no promotion channel. In the same way, all those posts have discrimination among other provinces.  The employees also demand the following:
