An official notification states that the performance allowance will be equivalent to the officer’s initial basic pay under the 2022 pay scale. However, the pension or gratuity will not be added to it, and it will remain subject to income tax.
The notification further states that the allowance will not be payable during periods of extraordinary leave, long-term leave, or suspension.
It was also clarified through notification that non-attorney cadre officers, as well as officials employed on market-based salaries or under special pay packages, will not be eligible for the performance allowance.
The KP government has also withdrawn all previous orders and notifications relating to the attorney cadre performance allowance.
