The ninth pay scale might be placed at a cabinet meeting scheduled on Monday, with a gazette to be published within Thursday if it gets approved by the cabinet on that day.
According to finance ministry sources, the gazette
notification of the new pay scale might be published within the next week. The
formalities have already been completed. A cabinet meeting has been scheduled
for Monday, and preparations are being taken to include the new pay scale in
the agenda and place it for approval.
If the new pay scale gets approved on Monday, a
gazette notification might be issued on Thursday, officials said.
However, officials could not confirm the new rates
of the salaries and other allowances in the final draft that has been prepared
for approval.

in two phases.
The committee has proposed to increase the basic
salaries in the first year and other allowances in the second year.
