Following its earlier move in the administration cadre, the review committee on promotion deprivation has now recommended retrospective promotions for 78 retired officials from other cadres. The report was submitted Wednesday to the Chief Adviser by committee convener and former Finance Secretary Zakir Ahmed Khan. Earlier, based on the committee’s first report, 764 retired administration officials from deputy secretary to secretary level were granted retrospective promotions. The recommendations cover officials who faced career stagnation between 2009 and August 4, 2024, before retiring.
