Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina said on Wednesday that a new pay scale will be announced for government employees in the next fiscal year, reports BSS.
Replying to a question during PM's question-answer session, Sheikh Hasina said the government expects to get the report of the pay commission headed by former Bangladesh Bank governor Dr M Farashuddin within the next six months. "The government would be able to announce the new pay scale next year after necessary scrutiny of the recommendations," she said.
The PM said the commission would prepare its recommendations considering the living cost of a six-member family including parents.
She said the commission was supposed to submit its recommendations within six months. But, it delayed to start the work due to political unrest and destructive agitation of BNP and Jamaat-Shibir, she said.
