The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has approved a major increase in the performance allowance for government officers working in the attorney cadre, according to reports today.
The provincial cabinet has decided to raise the allowance from 60 per cent to 100 per cent under a revised policy for attorney cadre officers.
According to an official notification, the performance allowance will now be equal to the officer’s initial basic pay under the 2022 pay scale. The amount will not be counted for pension or gratuity. It will also be subject to income tax.
The notification says the allowance will not be paid during extraordinary leave, long-term leave or suspension.
It also makes clear that officers outside the attorney cadre will not receive this allowance. Employees who are working on market-based salaries or under special pay packages are also not eligible.
The KP government has also cancelled all previous notifications and orders related to the attorney cadre performance allowance.
KP increases house requisition, special conveyance allowances
Earlier, the KP government also approved an increase in the House Requisition Allowance for employees working in the Civil Secretariat, the Chief Minister’s Secretariat and the Governor’s Secretariat.
The provincial cabinet also approved a higher Special Conveyance Allowance for government employees with disabilities.
According to a notification issued by the Finance Department, both decisions were approved during a special provincial cabinet meeting held on June 19, 2026.
The revised House Requisition Allowance will be given to employees from BPS-03 to BPS-22. The new rates came into effect on July 1, 2026.
The Finance Department has directed all concerned departments to implement the revised allowance.
The government has also increased the Special Conveyance Allowance for government employees with disabilities.
The monthly allowance has been raised from Rs6,000 to Rs10,000 after an increase of Rs4,000.
The revised Special Conveyance Allowance also took effect on July 1, 2026. It will be paid to all eligible government employees with disabilities across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
