Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said the government had decided
to provide public servants with 20 percent dearness allowance apart from
forming a permanent pay commission.
“We have decided to give 20 percent dearness allowance (to public servants),” she said while addressing the National Grand Rally of Professionals at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the capital.
The premier, however, said the maximum pay rise for the government officials and employees would be around Tk 6,000.
After taking office in early 2009, she said, her government increased salaries and allowances for government officials and employees.
“We will now go for forming a permanent pay commission so that there is no need to constitute the pay commission time and again … we will take necessary steps in this regard,” she told her audience.
As part of the government’s bid to bring about dynamism in the administration, she said, a total of 35 posts of 26 cadres had been upgraded to grade-I.
Hasina also said the retirement age limit of government service holders had already been increased to 59.
The 8th wage board has been constituted for journalists with the announcement of a 75 percent increase in their salaries and allowances, she added.
PM’s Media Adviser Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury, Professionals Coordination Council President Justice AFM Mesbahuddin, Dhaka University Vice Chancellor AAMS Arefin Siddique, among others, spoke on the occasion.
