Special monthly allowance of Rs. 25,000 for senior state administrative officials from July 1
View(s):Senior state administrative officials holding posts in the Executive Service category of the public sector will be granted a special monthly allowance of Rs 25,000 from July 1.
A circular issued with the concurrence of the General Treasury by the Ministry of Public Administration, Home Affairs, Provincial Councils, and Local Government on Thursday indicated that the special allowance provision would come into effect following a Cabinet decision on Monday.
Executive Service category officers will also become eligible to receive the allowance irrespective of their period of service, instead of the special allowance paid to them so far based on the period of service. Also included in the scheme are eligible officials attached to the Sri Lanka Engineering Service, the Sri Lanka Architects’ Service, and the Sri Lanka Surveyors’ Service.
Taking into consideration the specialisation of the service and the entitlement under Public Administration Circular No. 18/2015, which granted allowances less than Rs. 25,000, the officers should be paid only the difference between such allowances and the Rs. 25,000 granted by this circular.
“However, if such allowance or allowances are equal to or more than Rs. 25,000, such allowance or allowances should not be revised in accordance with this circular,” the circular says.
Meanwhile, relevant circulars issued in the past with regard to allowances paid to the officers of the Sri Lanka Engineering Service, the Sri Lanka Architects’ Service and the Sri Lanka Surveyors’ Service will be terminated.
