On Wednesday, Zakir Ahmed Khan, the convener of the Review Committee for Promotion-Deprived Retired Officers, submitted a review report to the Chief Adviser's Office. The committee has recommended retrospective promotions for 78 retired officers from non-administration cadres who were previously deprived of promotions.
The recommended promotions include 12 officers for Grade-1, 32 for Grade-2, and 34 for Grade-3 positions. These officers have already retired, and the term "retrospective" refers to promotions effective from a past date.
The report was handed over to Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus at his office. This is the second report submitted by the committee. Based on the first report, 764 retired officers from the administration cadre, ranging from deputy secretaries to secretaries, have already been granted retrospective promotions.
The Chief Adviser's Press Wing informed the media about the submission of the report. It stated that the committee, formed on September 16 last year with Zakir Ahmed Khan, a former finance secretary, as convener, was tasked with reviewing applications from officers who faced promotion deprivation between 2009 and August 4, 2024, and retired during this period. The committee completed its work in two phases. In the first phase, it reviewed applications for deputy secretary and higher positions, submitting a report on December 10 last year.
In the second phase, applications were invited from officers in non-administration cadres with Grade-3 or higher positions. Out of 318 applications received, 68 were outside the committee’s scope, and 40 were incomplete. The committee reviewed 210 applications and recommended retrospective promotions for 78 officers: 6 for three-step promotions, 17 for two-step promotions, and 55 for one-step promotions. The committee did not recommend promotions for 132 officers.
