For the fourth consecutive year, there will be no increase in the salaries of Nepal Police 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 Nepal Police officials 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 budget, the Nepalese Government has implemented a 15% raise in salaries for government employees.
Furthermore, Nepal Police Officers are entitled to receive a monthly ration ranging from Rs. 6,000 to Rs. 24,000, which is separate from their salaries. This ration serves as an additional allowance for every police officer in Nepal, with those stationed in remote areas receiving a higher rate of around Rs. 800 per day, whereas the standard rate stands at Rs. 200 per day. Nepal Police Officers receive both their salaries and rations per month.
Below is the Salary Structure for Nepal Police Officers which will be effective in fiscal year 2081/82 too:
