Committee Recommendations: A dedicated committee (constituted via office order No. 2426/102358-66 dated 30-06-2026) was assigned to evaluate the admissibility of benefits for upgraded officials in accordance with Finance Division rules and regulatory guidelines.
The committee unanimously endorsed the following recommendation:
"The officials upgraded in BPS-17/18 having regular scale as BPS-15/16 may be allowed to avail free supply of units facility being Non-gazetted officials entitlement as per time scale upgradation policy."
Directive to PITC: Based on the committee’s findings and with the formal approval of the Chief Executive Officer, GEPCO, the management has requested PITC (Lahore) to restore the free electricity units facility for the eligible employees as per their Non-Gazetted status entitlement.
