According to an office memorandum (O.M) issued by the Finance Division, the executive allowance will be applicable to all BPS 17-22 officers (excluding private secretaries), posted/working in the Federal Secretariat, as well as Prime Minister’s Office and President Secretariat with effect from 01-01-2023.
