Question: The President announced that SRC is working on salary cuts for State officers. What is the progress on this issue?
Answer: Yes, we confirm that the President issued a statement on salary review for State officers as per our report. The mandate of SRC is to set and regularly review the salaries and remuneration of State Officers. In 2013, the commission set the salaries and remuneration for State Officers after undertaking a job evaluation exercise. We are currently reviewing the same based on the economic parameters and sustainability principle. The draft report is ready and consultations with various stakeholders are ongoing.
