The Ninth National Pay Commission submitted its report to Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus on January 21, three weeks ahead of schedule. Led by Zakir Ahmed Khan, the commission proposed a 20-grade pay structure for government employees, recommending that the minimum salary rise from Tk 8,250 to Tk 20,000 and the maximum from Tk 78,000 to Tk 160,000. Implementing the proposal would require an additional Tk 1.06 trillion, with salaries potentially increasing by 100 to 147 percent and similar adjustments for pensions and allowances.
During a meeting chaired by Dr. Yunus in Tejgaon, members of the interim government’s advisory council discussed the report extensively. Some advisers expressed concern that such a large increase might be inequitable given the current economic conditions and high inflation. They cautioned against placing excessive pressure on the national treasury while many citizens face limited incomes.
Finance Adviser Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed confirmed that no committee has yet been formed to oversee implementation. The absence of this committee has raised uncertainty about whether the new pay structure will be enacted during the current government’s tenure.
