LAHORE The Punjab government has decided to discontinue all types of projects/programme allowances and other special allowances being presently admissible in all PMUs established under various projects/programmes including local and foreign funded projects/programmes. This also includes all policy units/policy cells established under the government of the Punjab, all public sector companies which have secured capital from the Punjab government as loan/advances or grants and all foundations/funds and other such like entities established under Punjab government. The officers/officials so posted/appointed shall only be entitled to draw pay and such allowances as are admissible to them in their own pay and such allowances as are admissible to them in their own pay scales in their own organisation/department/secretariat, plus deputation allowance, where applicable at 20 per cent of the basic pay scale subject to a maximum of Rs 6,000 per month or as revised from time to time. Additional charge allowance at 20 per cent of the basic pay scale, subject to a maximum of Rs 6,000 per month or as revised from time to time, shall be admissible to the government servants, who are assigned additional charge of posts in the above mentioned entities/organisations. However, the officers/officials under reference would be considered for grant of reward/honoraria under the existing policy on the subject. A robust and objective mechanism for evaluating performance for grant of honoraria would be developed separately. Terms and conditions already notified for officers/officials working in the aforementioned entities shall be deemed to have been modified accordingly with immediate effect. Moreover, this policy would not apply to contract employees from the private sector of such entities and organizations.
