Islamabad: The federal government has updated the monthly General Provident Fund (GPF) contributions for civil employees, following a recent revision of their basic pay scales. The GPF deduction amounts now range from Rs722 for employees in the BS-1 category to Rs17,605 for those in the BS-22 category. The Finance Division announced the revised subscription rates in an Office Memorandum, explaining that they were issued based on the July 21, 2026, revision of basic pay scales for federal government employees.
Under the new system, BS-1 employees will now pay Rs722 per month, while BS-2 staff will contribute Rs1,273. For the remaining categories, the monthly contributions increase progressively, reaching Rs17,605 for BS-22 employees. The Finance Division emphasized that these revised amounts were calculated using the average salary for each basic pay scale under the current GPF rates.
Additionally, the Finance Division outlined the minimum subscription rates based on the existing GPF framework, with BS-1 employees required to contribute at least 3% and BS-22 employees at least 8% of the prescribed basis. The government's move aims to align GPF deductions with the newly implemented basic pay scales for civil employees, ensuring consistency with the updated salary structure.
