State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Governor Jameel Ahmed is paid a monthly salary of Rs. 4 million, substantially (60 percent) higher than his predecessor Dr. Reza Baqir who earned Rs. 2.5 million.
The National Assembly was informed this week that the current central bank governor’s salary is at least Rs. 1.5 million higher than the previous governor.
Jameel Ahmed’s overall package includes some neat perks such as rental allowance, maintenance and furnishing, two vehicles with free 600 liters of petrol each, and the option to hire four house workers for Rs. 18,000/month salary each.
The central bank also covers his utility bills, entertainment, and mobile phone expenses. Other benefits include 75 percent coverage of his children’s education, full medical coverage, airline tickets, club memberships, and security expenses.

Shukar hai biwi kay makeup k pese nahi de rahay..
Wow, the minimum wage in karachi, sindh for unskilled worker is 32,000/month, but the government itself is paying four house workers for Rs. 18,000/month salary each, irony!!
Burial expenses hi baqi reh jatay hay Governor Sahib kay baqi to sab Central Bank day hi raha hay😜
18k per month salary for house worker is a criminal offence committed by the sbp when govt set the minimum salary wage of 37k/month.
Second the performance of governor not even satisfactory compared to the salary. He max deserves 60 to 80k and nothing else.
It doesn’t mean that the worker will be paid 18,000, it simply means that this allowance is capped at 18,000 per month per worker. Just like the education allowance for children is capped at 75%, it doesn’t mean that he will pay only that amount to the university. He will have to pay the difference from his own pocket.
Entetainment mean? escort services for both husband and wife? :D
😄
If the governing board has made a criteria for deciding the salary of governor, somebody please guide us how it is is done.
