Last updated: 9 October 2026

The conveyance allowance chart 2026 for federal government employees in Pakistan now shows rates that are 50% higher than last year, in every pay scale from BPS-1 to BPS-22. The Ministry of Finance, Government of Pakistan, set out the new figures in an Office Memorandum dated 21 July 2026, and they apply from 1 July 2026. Below we explain the revised monthly amounts, who qualifies, how the change fits into the wider 2026-27 pay package, and what to check on your own pay slip.

What is the new conveyance allowance chart 2026?

The revised chart raises the monthly conveyance allowance by half of the old amount for every grade group. Under the Finance Ministry's Office Memorandum No. 3(1)R-5/2010-P-001, the new monthly rates are:

BPS-1 to BPS-4: Rs2,678 per month (previously Rs1,785)
BPS-5 to BPS-10: Rs2,898 per month (previously Rs1,932)
BPS-11 to BPS-15: Rs4,284 per month (previously Rs2,856)
BPS-16 and above (up to BPS-22): Rs7,500 per month (previously Rs5,000)

The memorandum says the revised amounts are paid "on existing terms and conditions", so the eligibility rules that already governed the allowance stay the same. Only the amounts have changed.

How much extra is that each month and each year?

Working from the official figures, the monthly gain is Rs893 for BPS-1 to 4, Rs966 for BPS-5 to 10, Rs1,428 for BPS-11 to 15 and Rs2,500 for BPS-16 and above. Over twelve months, the full revised allowance adds up to:

BPS-1 to 4: Rs32,136 a year
BPS-5 to 10: Rs34,776 a year
BPS-11 to 15: Rs51,408 a year
BPS-16 to 22: Rs90,000 a year

These annual totals are simple multiplications of the notified monthly rate. They are not separate official figures.

When does the revised conveyance allowance take effect?

The new rates take effect from 1 July 2026, the first day of the 2026-27 financial year. The memorandum was signed on 21 July 2026, so the effective date comes before the date it was issued. Reporting by TechJuice says the Finance Ministry told federal ministries, divisions and departments to apply the revised allowance retrospectively from 1 July.

In practice, if your salary for July or later still shows the old amount, the gap belongs to the period covered by the new rate. The office that handles your pay is usually the Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO) or the concerned Accounts Office, so raise it there first.

Who is covered by the federal conveyance allowance increase?

The memorandum covers civil servants of the federal government working in BPS-1 to BPS-22. Its subject line names them directly, and it was sent to federal secretaries across the Cabinet Division, Establishment Division, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Defence and other divisions.

It does not set rates for employees of the provincial governments of Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa or Balochistan. Provincial staff should look for a notification from their own provincial Finance Department rather than assume the federal chart applies to them.

Is there a separate rate for employees with disabilities?

Yes. A second Office Memorandum issued the same day raises the Special Conveyance Allowance for disabled civil employees of the federal government from Rs6,000 to Rs10,000 per month, also from 1 July 2026. It covers staff paid out of both civil estimates and defence estimates, and it is paid on top of the normal conveyance allowance, not instead of it. A disabled officer in BPS-17 would therefore draw both the Rs7,500 general rate and the Rs10,000 special rate, subject to the existing conditions.

How does this fit into the 2026-27 federal pay package?

The conveyance change is one part of a wider revision the Finance Ministry notified on 21 July 2026. According to The Nation and Daily Pakistan, the other main elements are:

Revised Basic Pay Scales 2026 (BPS-2026): the Ad-hoc Relief Allowances of 2022 (15%) and 2025 (10%) are merged into basic pay, and existing salaries are re-fixed on a point-to-point basis.
Ad-hoc Relief Allowance-2026: 7% of running basic pay under BPS-2026, subject to income tax and not counted for pension or gratuity.
Frozen percentage allowances: allowances paid as a percentage of pay, including House Rent Allowance, stay frozen at their 30 June 2026 level (except those already capped by a maximum).
A one-time option: under that separate pay memorandum, employees had 30 days from its issue to choose in writing between BPS-2022 and BPS-2026. Anyone who did not choose was deemed to have opted for BPS-2026.
Annual increment: Daily Pakistan reports that the yearly increment continues on 1 December under existing rules.

Conveyance allowance is a fixed rupee amount rather than a percentage of pay, so the freeze on percentage-based allowances does not apply to it; it was revised through its own memorandum.

How to check your conveyance allowance on your pay slip

Most federal employees can confirm the change in a few minutes. Follow these steps:

Find your current pay scale on your latest salary slip.
Match it to the correct band in the chart above. For example, an employee in BPS-14 falls in the BPS-11 to 15 band, so the right amount is Rs4,284.
Look for the conveyance allowance line and compare it with the revised figure.
If you have a disability and already received special conveyance allowance, check that it now reads Rs10,000.
If either figure is still at the old rate, contact your DDO or Accounts Office and quote the Ministry of Finance Office Memorandum dated 21 July 2026.

Common mistakes to avoid

Adding 50% to the wrong base. The increase is on the old conveyance amount, not on basic pay.
Using the federal chart for provincial jobs. Provincial employees need their own province's notification.
Mixing up the two allowances. The Rs10,000 special allowance is only for eligible disabled employees and comes in addition to the normal rate.
Trusting unofficial PDFs. Rely on the official copy rather than reposted PDFs. The original memoranda are listed under circulars on the Ministry of Finance website (finance.gov.pk).

What this means for you

For an employee in BPS-7, the change adds Rs966 a month. For an officer in BPS-17, it adds Rs2,500. These are not life-changing sums, but for staff who commute daily they offset part of the rise in travel costs. If you are preparing for a federal job through the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC), the new chart is also a useful part of working out real take-home pay in different grades.
