The newly formed National Pay Commission has begun work to propose a new salary structure for government employees, with recommendations expected within six months. A key focus is adjusting the current 20-grade system, potentially reducing the number of grades and aligning salaries proportionally. The commission is also taking inflation and ongoing discussions about salary ratios for lowest and highest grades—such as 12:1, 10:1, and 8:1—into consideration. Officials have hinted that under the new scale, basic salaries could nearly double, with Grade 1 reaching up to 156,000 BDT and Grade 20 starting at 16,500 BDT. Economic advisor Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed confirmed that the new pay structure will be implemented during the current interim government’s term and will not wait for the next political administration. The last pay scale, introduced in 2015, saw significant increases, with top-grade salaries rising 195% and lowest-grade salaries by 201%.
