Un-Expected Date of Presentation of Budget
This is an unexpected date for the announcement of the budget by a provincial Government. In history, Federal Government always announced the budget first. After the Federal Government, Provincial Governments used to announce the budget. In provincial budgets, most of the increases in pay and allowances were nearly the same as in Federal. Especially whenever the Federal Government revised the pay scales, provincial Governments followed it.

Federal Govt has decided to present the budget on 10th June 2022.

The employees of the KP province have many issues as they want the provincial government to do its best for them. The main issue is the revised pay scales for 2022. The last time, issued the revised pay scales 2017 after that no revision on pay scales. But there is a question of whether the provincial Government Issue its own pay scales if the Government intends to introduce the revised pay scales 2022. What will happen if Federal Government doesn’t revise the pay scales? These are some of the questions. If the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhawa merges all the ad-hoc relief allowances into basic pay and introduces the revised pay scales 2022, it will be a great work of the Government. It will be a set example for the Federal Government and other provincial Governments. They will automatically force to revise the pay scales.
