The Police Constable to Sergeant ranks will receive an increase between Rs 2,340 to Rs 4.230 while the Sub Inspector and Chief Inspector ranks will receive an increase of Rs 3,060 and Rs 4,320 respectively. Between Assistant Superintendent of Police to Inspector General of Police ranks the increase is Rs 4,140. The full increased allowance was due to police personnel from January, but had been delayed due to a delay in the Treasury releasing funds. However, police officers attached to the VIP security division for retired Presidents, Prime Minister’s Security Division, Ministers’ Security Division, Special Task Force (STF) and Intelligence service have already been granted a special allowance amounting to one-third of their basic salary as well, the report stressed.
