The All Pakistan Clerks Association (APCA) has called for a 200 percent increase in government employees’ salaries and a 500 percent increase in house rent, medical, and other allowances ahead of the Federal Budget 2026–27.

According to reports, the association has submitted a six-point charter of demands to the government and announced a protest demonstration in Islamabad on June 2 to press for its implementation.

APCA said the sharp rise in inflation and living expenses has significantly reduced the purchasing power of public-sector employees, making current pay and benefits insufficient to meet household needs.

In addition to a substantial increase in basic salaries and allowances, the association has urged the government to halt the privatization of state-owned institutions.

The organization argues that government employees have been disproportionately affected by rising costs over the past few years and require meaningful relief in the upcoming budget.

As part of its campaign, APCA has called on government workers from across the country to participate in the Islamabad protest ahead of the budget announcement.

Authorities have reportedly begun security and administrative preparations in the federal capital in anticipation of the gathering.
