The notice heads this schedule निवृत्तभरण प्रयोजन: it is the scale for pension purposes.
Every amount is monthly, in Nepali rupees (NPR). A dash means the notice leaves the cell blank. The monthly incentive allowance of 10 percent of the revised scale is paid on top and is not in any column. Post titles after a dot (Section Officer, Nayab Subba, Kharidar and the others) are the usual civil-service titles for that class; the notice itself lists classes.
From Starting Salary to Monthly Scale
Every row of the notice gives four numbers. Three of them are enough to work out where any employee sits on the scale.
- 1
Find the class, level or rank
The notice lists classes (श्रेणी), levels (तह or स्तर) and ranks (दर्जा), not job titles. A Section Officer is gazetted third class; a Nayab Subba and a Kharidar are non-gazetted first and second class.
- 2
Start from शुरू तलबमान
That is the monthly starting salary for the row. For a Section Officer it is NPR 48,058; for an office assistant at the first level, NPR 27,172.
- 3
Add one grade rate per grade
The covering letter sets a grade (ग्रेड) at one day's salary, the starting salary over 30. ग्रेड संख्या caps how many a row can hold, and कायम जम्मा is the scale with all of them: NPR 60,874 for a Section Officer.
- 4
Add the incentive allowance
The same letter adds a monthly incentive allowance (प्रोत्साहन भत्ता) of 10 percent of the revised scale. It is paid on top, so no column of the notice includes it.

The Government Scale Is Not the Minimum Wage
The तलबमान is what the government pays its own services. The minimum wage is the floor for every other employer in Nepal. They are set by different instruments and bind different people.
| Government salary scale | Minimum wage | |
|---|---|---|
| What it fixes | Pay for each class, level and rank in eight services | The lowest pay any employer may offer |
| Who it binds | The services named in its eight schedules | Every employer under the Labour Act 2074 |
| Lowest monthly figure | NPR 27,172 starting (office assistant, first level) | NPR 19,550 (NPR 12,170 basic + NPR 7,380 dearness allowance) |
| Set by | Council of Ministers, issued by the Ministry of Finance | Government of Nepal, section 106 of the Labour Act 2074 |
| In force from | Shrawan 1, 2083 | Shrawan 1, 2082 |
A private company may follow the government scale if it chooses. Nothing requires it to. What it may not do is pay below the minimum wage.
The private floor, how it splits into basic and dearness allowance, and when it is revised: Minimum wage in Nepal
Six Things the News Tables Skip
Most copies of this scale online print the numbers without the covering letter, which is where the rules for reading them are.
A grade is one day's salary
The letter fixes the grade amount at one day's pay, and every one of the 177 rows with grades follows it: the grade rate is the starting salary divided by 30, rounded to the rupee. A Section Officer's grade is NPR 1,602 on a NPR 48,058 start. How and when a grade is earned is set by each service's own Act and rules, not by this notice.
A 10 percent incentive allowance on top
The letter adds a monthly incentive allowance (प्रोत्साहन भत्ता) of 10 percent of the revised scale. It is not in any column. The notice does not say whether grades count toward it, so this page shows no rupee amount for it rather than guess.
What changed from FY 2082/83
The FY 2083/84 budget speech, paragraph 61(ज), raised the starting scale by 10 percent, the first rise in four years, and put the rise with the incentive allowance at about 21 percent over the pay employees were drawing. The notice prints only the new figures.
No dearness allowance in it
The notice sets no dearness allowance (महँगी भत्ता). The budget speech says the dearness allowance employees already receive continues, without restating its amount, so this page does not show one.
Some rows are for pension only
Rows marked पेन्सन प्रयोजन or अ.मा. carry no grades and are for pension purposes. So is all of Schedule 8, for province and local level staff, which the notice heads निवृत्तभरण प्रयोजन.
Technical staff appointed before 2057
Schedules 1, 6 and 8 print a special column for technical staff, or staff paid at that rate, appointed before 2057/4/1 BS: two more grades at the same rate, ending at अन्तिम तलब. A Section Officer in that group reaches NPR 64,078 rather than NPR 60,874.
Government Salary in Nepal, Answered
It depends on the class. Under the Ministry of Finance notice effective Shrawan 1, 2083 (17 July 2026), the lowest starting salary is NPR 27,172 a month, for an office assistant at the first level and for army and police recruits, and the highest is NPR 84,932, for the Chief Secretary and the Chief of the Army Staff. A Section Officer starts at NPR 48,058.
A Nayab Subba (non-gazetted first class) starts at NPR 38,203 a month, with up to 10 grades of NPR 1,273, so the scale reaches NPR 50,933. A Kharidar (non-gazetted second class) starts at NPR 36,192, with up to 10 grades of NPR 1,206, reaching NPR 48,252. The 10 percent incentive allowance is paid on top of both.
NPR 48,058 a month to start, the gazetted third class rate, with up to 8 grades of NPR 1,602, so NPR 60,874 at the top of the scale. Technical staff appointed before 2057/4/1 BS can go two grades further, to NPR 64,078.
One day's salary: the starting salary divided by 30, rounded to the rupee. The covering letter sets it that way and every row with grades follows it, from NPR 906 for an office assistant at the first level to NPR 2,831 for the Chief Secretary. The ग्रेड संख्या column says how many grades a row can hold.
The FY 2083/84 budget speech raised the starting scale by 10 percent and added a monthly incentive allowance of 10 percent of the new scale, which it put at about 21 percent more pay overall. It was the first rise in four years. The new scale applies from Shrawan 1, 2083 (17 July 2026).
Both start at NPR 28,690 a month in 2083/84. A constable (प्र. जवान) and a sipahi (सिपाही) each have up to 8 grades of NPR 956, reaching NPR 36,338. Recruits start at NPR 27,172.
Starting salaries run from NPR 28,690 to NPR 62,466 a month. A secondary teacher in the first class starts at NPR 62,466 and reaches NPR 74,958; a primary teacher with an SLC pass in the first class starts at NPR 48,058. Schedule 7 covers teachers working in community schools only.
Not in this notice. It sets the scale, the grade and a 10 percent incentive allowance. The budget speech says the dearness allowance employees already receive continues, but neither document restates its amount, so this page does not show one.
No. It covers the services in its eight schedules: the civil service, the Nepali Army, Nepal Police, the Armed Police Force, the health service, the parliament service and community school teachers, plus province and local level staff for pension purposes. A private employer is bound by the minimum wage under section 106 of the Labour Act 2074, NPR 19,550 a month, and may pay more but not less.
The Ministry of Finance, Budget and Programme Division letter "नयाँ तलबमान र सुविधा सम्बन्धमा" dated 2083/04/20 BS (5 August 2026), which carries the Council of Ministers decision of 2083/04/06 and Schedules 1 to 8. The ministry published the scan at mof.gov.np. Every figure here was read from that scan and checked against the notice's own arithmetic on 5 November 2026.
