Balochistan govt approves 7% Ad hoc relief for govt employees
The Balochistan government has approved a 7 per cent Ad hoc Relief Allowance for all permanent government employees from Grade 1 to Grade 22 on Tuesday.
The allowance will be in effect from July 1, 2026.
According to the details, the allowance will be 7 per cent of each employee’s current basic salary. This means that the amount will vary depending on the employee’s grade and pay. The Finance Department has issued an official notification confirming the decision.

Employees on extraordinary leave will also not receive the allowance during their leave. But it will be restored once they return to duty, according to the rules.
The provincial government has directed all departments and accounts officers to implement the decision immediately.
