For the fourth consecutive year, there will be no increase in the salaries of government employees, including Armed Police Force (APF) staffs. 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 government employees including Armed Police Force (APF) staffs across all levels will receive an additional Rs. 3,000 in their monthly salary package, offering some compensation amidst stagnant base salaries.
Last time, the government of Nepal implemented a 15% salary hike for all its government employees for the fiscal year 2079/80. This adjustment extends to members of the Armed Police Force.
The highest position within the Armed Police Force is the Inspector General, with a salary of Rs. 66,860, followed by the Deputy Inspector General, earning Rs. 58,301. Below is the comprehensive salary breakdown for the Armed Police Force for the fiscal year 2079/80:
