I am sharing here the Copy of Upgradation / Time Scale Summary Federal Government Employees. As per this summary, LDC will get BPS-11 and UDC will get BPS-13. Other employees will get time scale upgradation and extra increment. I have already broken the news of the Upgradation BPS-01 to BPS-16 Federal Employees Summary and now I am sharing the copy of the summary for PM for upgradation and time scale.

Copy of Upgradation / Time Scale Summary Federal Employees

Upgradation for the post of Lower Division Clerk (LDC) and Upper Division Clerk (UDC) from BPS-09 to BPS-11 and from BPS-11 to BPS-14 respectively.

Grant of higher pay scale on the lines of those authorized by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhawa on the following ratios:

• Grant of two higher pay scales to the employees in BPS-01 to BPS-05
• Grant of one higher pay scale to the employees on BPS-06 to BPS-15

An agreement was concluded on 11-02-2021 between all Government employees grand alliance (AGEGA) and the Minister of Defence, Minister of Interior, and Minister for Parliamentary Affairs which inter-alia included the upgradation of posts on the pattern of the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhawa. All of the demands decided under the above agreement they conceded except the demands related to upgradation, giving cause to continuous unrest and agitation among the employees.
