Islamabad: Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani instructed to
implement transport policy for the topmost bureaucracy under which
BPS-20 to BPS-22 officers would be given lump sum amount every month
instead of vehicles.
The new transport policy would save Rs four billion. The policy would be implemented from January 1, 2012.
According
to new policy, the officers working in grade 22 would be given Rs
95,910 every moth, while officers in BPS-21 would take Rs 77,430 along
with salary. Similarly the officers serving in grade 20 would get Rs
65,960 per month.
Cabinet Division has issued a notification,
which states that the federal cabinet had approved the policy on June 3,
2011, but its implementation was delayed at that time due to some
apprehensions of senior officers. But now the notification has been
issued and its copies have been sent to all Federal Secretaries and
Principal Accounting Officers.
According to notification all
officers serving in BPS 20 to BPS-22 would be deprived of the facility
of official vehicle and drivers whereas those officers who would retain
official drivers with them, a deduction of Rs 10,000 per month would be
made from their salary.
Notification also put complete ban on
purchase of new cars. However those officers who want to buy official
car would be offered on prevailing price. The official number plates
would be abolished and the officers who would buy the vehicle would bear
the expenses of private registration. Online
