The Chattogram Port Authority (CPA) has implemented the National Pay Scale 2026 (Ninth Pay Scale), with officers and employees receiving increased salaries and pensioners benefiting from enhanced pensions from 1 November. Eligible officers and employees are also set to receive three months’ salary arrears within November.
According to a press release issued by the CPA secretary Syed Refayet Hamim, the salary and allowance determination and pay-fixation process for all officers and employees has been completed through a fully digital, paperless system using digital signatures.
The release said the large-scale administrative exercise was completed within the stipulated timeframe under the timely decisions, clear guidance and firm leadership of the CPA chairman.
The digital process has helped reduce administrative delays and bureaucratic complexities while ensuring greater transparency, accuracy and accountability, the statement added.
The collective efforts and cooperation of officials and employees from various departments and offices of the port also played a significant role in successfully completing the process, according to the release.
