New pay scales of civil servants have
been announced earlier and the basic salary increment has been put into place
from July this year. It covers civil servants as well as armed forces members.
Although effective from July, the new scaled salaries would be available to the
public passing a circular, only as early as November.
An additional Tk 15,904 crore is
needed to be raised for the basic salary and extra Tk 23,828 crore for upgraded
bonus and increment scales, the latter being effective from July 2016. Benefiting
the lowest scale with highest proportion of 101%, it is still under ten
thousand taka, while the highest scale rose 95% (nearly double) to Tk 78,000.
However, with universal upgrades
to all 20 scales, everyone will be incremented every July, instead of joining
date consideration. Increments of 5% of basic for the sixth to the 20th grade, 4.5%
for the fifth, 4% for the third and fourth and 3.75% for the second, will be in
place.
With a special bonus for Bangla
Nababarsha added to the festival bonuses, Army and Navy chiefs having the same upgraded
ranks and basics, abolishment of job classification in favor of pay grades,
changes in the allowance system, the pay structure has been considerably
altered to benefit public servants without any pressure to the government,
justifying equity in matters of society.
