For the fourth consecutive year, there will be no increase in the salaries of Nepal Army Officials. 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 the Nepal Army across all levels will receive an additional Rs. 3,000 in their monthly salary package, offering some compensation amidst stagnant base salaries.
In the fiscal year 2079/80, the Nepal Government implemented a significant 15% salary increase for government employees, extending its impact to the Nepal Army. The highest position in the Nepal Army is that of COAS General who makes Rs. 71,616 which is followed by Lieutenant General who makes Rs. 68,884
