In a temporary financial adjustment, the government has decided to defer a portion of salaries for senior officials.
According to official sources, 3% of the salaries of Class-1 and Class-2 officers will be deferred for a period of six months. The move is aimed at managing financial resources more efficiently amid current fiscal pressures.
Officials clarified that the deferred amount is not a permanent cut and is expected to be released at a later stage. The decision has sparked mixed reactions among employees, with some expressing concern over short-term financial impact, while others see it as a necessary step in the larger economic interest.
Further details regarding the implementation and repayment timeline are expected to be issued soon.
