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 fiscal year 2079/80, the Nepalese Government has enacted a notable 15% raise in salaries for government officials. This substantial increase is intended to improve the financial welfare of public servants at various levels of administration within Nepal.
Further down, you'll discover tables showcasing the salaries of diverse government personnel, encompassing heavy vehicle drivers and postal service staff. Salaries vary for each employee based on their rank and duties.
