This up-gradation lies under One Time Dispensation with effects from 1st January 2023. However, the substantive Pay scale of these employees will remain the same. It will not change in the effect of this Up-gradation.
This is a good step by the Government of Pakistan. The up-gradation of these Officials will allow them more confidence and interest in their work. It will also produce vacancy chances for unemployed individuals.
