ISLAMABAD, Nov 30 (APP):Adviser to the Prime Minister on Finance and Revenue Shaukat Tarin Tuesday stressed the need for removal of anomalies in basic pay structure and suggested its uniformity for all the organizations.
Addressing a virtual meeting of the Pay and Pension Commission, the adviser suggested for adoption of internationally accepted practices in the matter of pensions.
