The Pakistani federal government has announced it will pay senior Power Division officials a cash allowance instead of providing free electricity, according to sources cited by ProPakistani. Officers classified as BS-17 through BS-21 will receive a stipend of Rs. 30 per unit, replacing the previous system of free electricity.
For a BS-17 officer, this translates to Rs. 15,858 for 450 units of electricity. BS-18 employees will receive Rs. 21,990 for 600 units, while BS-19 officers will get Rs. 37,594 instead of the previous allowance of 880 free units. BS-20 and BS-21 officials will receive Rs. 46,992 and Rs. 55,536 respectively, in lieu of the previous allowances of 1,100 and an unspecified amount of free units.
This change in policy follows a High Court ruling that prompted the discontinuation of the free electricity provision. The Power Division has formally announced the end of the free electricity arrangement. The new cash-based payment system will now take the place of the previous arrangement where eligible Power Division officials were granted a predetermined quantity of electricity without cost.
