Basic Pay Scales (BPS)/Salaries of Government Servants(Civil servants) in Pakistan

Though there are also some other Pay Scale Systems in prevalent in Pakistan besides basic Pay Scale Structure (BPS) but BPS is widely used pay scale system in Pakistan. Most of the Government ministries/Departments and Organizations follow BPS System. Special pay scale or SPS and army scales are examples of other pay systems in Pakistan while private organizations/companies are free to make their own pay structures while Government fixes a minimum salary of any private/corporate employees.

BPS scales are regularly revised after every few years, normally after four years. Previously these were revised in 2008 and now after three years these are again revised in 2011 keeping in view the inflation rate in Pakistan.
