নতুন পে-স্কেল নিয়ে এলো বড় দুঃসংবাদ

Government employees have received, with this month's salary, the increased amounts for the previous three months under the new pay scale, but allowances will not rise for now. Employees have been updating their information on IBAS since 5 October. A recent Finance Division circular said allowances will remain at the rate paid on 30 June. Former Public Administration Training Centre secretary A K M Abdul Awal Mazumder said pay rises are welcome but corruption must be curbed, otherwise higher salaries will not reduce it. Former BIBM director-general Dr Taufiq Ahmed Chowdhury said the effects of the new pay structure should be analysed, that money supply will not rise enough to cause inflation, and that public and private sectors should coordinate. Under the new structure, minimum basic pay is 20,000 taka and maximum basic pay is 156,000 taka.

Where accounts differ. Desh TV gives the number of government officials as 200,000 to 300,000, while Bangladesh Bulletin gives 200,000 to 300,000 as well, and only Bangladesh Bulletin includes the full Finance Division circular details and the 'all ministries and bodies covered' list.
