Islamabad:
In the midst of the continuous situation of law and order in Baluchistan, the government has accelerated work on the implementation of “incentive and policy package” for officers published in the province and devised a standard operational procedure (SOP) for the allocation of funds.
In a recent meeting, the Finance Division informed the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) that the Prime Minister had approved the reviewed incentive package for PAS and PSP officers published under the Baluchistan government (GOB) on January 9 of last year.
Consequently, the establishment division on January 29, 2024 notified the package, which aimed to motivate PAS and PSP officers from outside Baluchistan in Baluchistan addressing concerns such as the high cost of living, the lack of facilities, support and social isolation.
A SOP had been devised in consultation with the establishment division to allocate funds for the package under the package, the ECC was informed. According to the SOP, the establishment division would coordinate with the Baluchistan government in a biannual way.
The SOP stipulated that the funds would be delivered to the consolidated account of the Baluchistan government in favor of the Finance Division. The Finance Division would release the funds after obtaining the technical complementary subsidy (TSG) of the ECC.
Consequently, the Finance Division delivered RS146,413,696 for the transfer forward to the Baluchistan government to meet demand under the allocation of the Finance Division for fiscal year 2024-25. The approval of the ECC for the TSG was obtained under subsidies, subsidies and heads of diverse expenses.
