The government is preparing to implement a new pay scale for its employees within the tenure of the current interim administration, without waiting for the next political government. The Finance Division acknowledges the additional financial burden but believes higher salaries will boost revenue through income tax and increased housing rent collections. The minimum salary is expected to rise from BDT 8,250 to over BDT 16,000, bringing more employees under the tax net. The Pay Commission is actively reviewing public and employee feedback to finalize recommendations. Officials note that competitive salaries are essential to attract skilled personnel, maintain professional efficiency, and ensure good governance, especially as Bangladesh prepares to graduate from the least developed country category in 2026. Budget allocation for the revised pay scale will be included in the fiscal year 2025-26 revised budget.
