In the budget speech for the upcoming fiscal year 2081/82 (2024/2025) presented to a joint meeting of the House of Representatives and the National Assembly on Jestha 15, 2081 (i.e., May 28, 2024), Finance Minister Barsa Man Pun did not announce an increase in employee salaries.
The Government's last revision of employee salary scales was effective July 1, 2079 (2022 AD). In the budget for the fiscal year 2078/79 unveiled to the parliament by Finance Minister Dr. Yuba Raj Khatiwada, the Government has hiked the salary of non-gazetted government officials (Nayab Subba, Kharidar, and Office Assistant) by 20 percent and that of gazetted officials (Section Officer, Deputy Secretary, Joint Secretary, and Chief Secretary) by 18 percent.
At that time, new salary scales were established for civil servants, the army, police, teachers, health workers, parliament staff, and provincial and local government employees.
The increment was made to increase the morale of the civil servants and lead to effective service delivery to the general public and the nation.
Following the pay hike, the Ministry of Finance released the latest salary sheets for the beneficiaries, practical from Sharwan 2079.
This same scale will also be implemented in the fiscal year 2081/82.
