Dear Sir,
I am directed to invite your attention to Rule 219(1) of the Federal Treasury Rules which provides that “If the first two days of a month are public holidays on which pay and allowances are not disbursed at the treasury, Heads of local Administration may at their discretion direct the payment of monthly pay bills to all Federal Govt: Servants on the last working days before the holidays”.
2. As the 1st & 2nd February, 2025 (Saturday & Sunday) are both public holidays, therefore it may be ensured that arrangements may please be made to disburse the salaries/pension on 31-01-2025 to all Provincial Government Servants/Pensioners of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for the month of January, 2025.
Yours faithfully,
Deputy Secretary(R-II)
