Budget 2026-27: Govt Employees Get 7% Salary, Pension Increase

The Pakistani government has announced a major relief package for millions of workers and retirees as part of its proposed Budget 2026-27, recommending increases in salaries, pensions, and the minimum wage.

According to budget documents, public sector employees are set to receive a 7% increase in salaries, while retired government workers could see a 7% rise in pensions. The proposal is aimed at providing financial support amid rising living costs and inflationary pressures.

The government has also proposed a 10% increase in the minimum wage, a move that could boost earnings for low-income workers across the country.

If approved, these measures would provide much-needed relief to government employees, pensioners, and minimum-wage earners, making this budget one of the most closely watched financial plans in recent years.
