All Government employees of Pakistan have the main demand of the Conveyance Allowance Increase in Budget 2023-24. The Government of Pakistan added different types of allowances to the monthly income of government servants. All government employees receive these allowances as an additional value in their salary.  One of the most important allowances is the conveyance allowance. But this is an era of inflation. Due to high inflation, all employees need to boost their monthly income as their living expenses are more than their income. Even the additional allowances make no additional value to meet their expenses.

Govt Employees Conveyance Allowance Increase Demand in Budget 2023-24
