History / Story of The Upgradation/Time Scale

Before this, the Prime Minister’s Office released the Upgradation Summary for BPS-01 to BPS-16. Previously, the Prime Minister approved the upgradation and time scale of FG employees. However, the PM Office, PM Secretariat, President Secretariat, etc., were added to the list after a few days.

FD requested to add more employees to the summary when the summary returned to it. The Prime Minister’s Office issued the Final Summary. Notification of Higher Scale to Federal Employees and Upgradation followed the summary.
