The Finance Division has submitted the eighth pay scale order for civil servants to the Law Ministry for vetting.
An official of the implementation wing of the Finance Division said if there is no query from the ministry concerned the eighth pay scale order will be passed within two days.
“We hope that the eighth pay scale order will be issued he next month.”
Sources in the Finance Division said Finance Secretary Mahbub Ahmed yesterday sent the order to the Law Ministry after he closely reviewed the 12-page order.
On Tuesday, Finance Minister AMA Muhith said some public servants, especially second-class employees, do not understand cumulative increment as civil servants will enjoy the promotion under that increment system instead of the old time scale and selection grade system.
“We hope that public servants will understand the cumulative increment system when it is implemented,” he said.
The eighth pay scale for public servants got cabinet consent on September 6.
The new pay scale for 2.1 million civil servants will be effective from July 1, 2015. There is no time scale and selection grade in the new pay scale.
However, the pay scale has the provision of yearly increment.
