The Caretaker Government of Bangladesh has established a special committee tasked with reviewing the reports of the National Pay Commission 2025, the Bangladesh Judicial Service Pay Commission 2025, and the Armed Forces Pay Committee 2025. The committee will also prepare recommendations related to salaries, allowances, and other compensation for government officials, judicial officers, and members of the armed forces.
The primary responsibility of the committee is to meticulously examine the proposals contained in the three pay commission reports and to formulate well-founded recommendations for submission to the government. These recommendations are expected to play a pivotal role in improving pay structures, allowances, and benefits for public servants and armed forces personnel across the country.
The committee is chaired by the Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Cabinet Affairs and includes senior secretaries and key officials from various ministries and departments. The composition of the committee ensures that financial, administrative, and policy perspectives are thoroughly integrated into its recommendations.
