The Ministry of Finance denied reports that claimed salary cut of central government employees amid coronavirus pandemic. “The reports in some section of media are false and have no basis whatsoever,” Ministry of Finance said on its Twitter page.
This clarification came after a news channel reported that the government was planning to cut salaries of central government employees by 30 percent.
On this, the Ministry said that there was no proposal under consideration of government for any cut in the salary of central government employees.
