Salary of Civil Servants (Government Officials) in Nepal in FY 2082/83
Government jobs are considered one of the sought-after jobs in Nepal. Thousands of youths compete in a rigorous examination conducted by Lok Sewa Aayog each year to get Government Jobs. So, you must be curious to know how much the government officials of Nepal earn. This article gives you complete knowledge about the salaries and benefits of government officials in Nepal.
For the fourth consecutive year, there will be no increase in the salaries of Nijamati Karmachari (civil servants). However, there is some relief: during the budget speech for the upcoming fiscal year 2082/83, presented on Jestha 15, 2082, Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Paudel announced a significant rise in the dearness allowance.
The allowance, which was previously Rs. 2,000, has now been increased to Rs. 5,000. This means civil servants across all levels will receive an additional Rs. 3,000 in their monthly salary package, offering some compensation amidst stagnant base salaries.
In the budget speech for the last fiscal year 2081/82, 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.
