Federal workers celebrate after the government raises the housing rent ceiling by 85%.

The federal cabinet has approved an increase of up to 85 percent in the house rent cap for government employees, which is fantastic news for the federal government’s workforce.

The cabinet has now formally approved the summary, which was submitted for approval by the Ministry of Housing and Works, according to sources. This ruling will raise the maximum amount of housing rent for all government employees, ranging from Grade 1 to 22.

The national exchequer is expected to bear a financial burden of approximately Rs12 billion as a result of this judgment, according to other sources. Nonetheless, in the face of growing inflation, it is anticipated to offer workers substantial relief.

Official sources claim that this raise helps to alleviate the strain of growing housing costs by meeting a long-standing request of government workers.
