KP Sets New Transport Allowance Rates for Judges

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has introduced a new transport monetization policy for judicial officers, effective October 1. Under this policy, district and sessions judges will receive Rs195,000 monthly, additional district and sessions judges will get Rs175,000, senior civil judges will receive Rs150,000, and civil judges will get Rs100,000.

Judicial officers can choose to purchase government vehicles assigned to them, with prices reduced by 15% in the first year and 10% in subsequent years, but not falling below 55% of the original purchase price. The policy allows for the retention of drivers at Rs30,000 per month through salary deduction, with non-retained driver posts moved to a surplus pool.

The transport allowance could be increased if fuel prices rise by an average of 20% for six consecutive months, or reduced with cabinet approval under certain conditions.
