Punjab government approved special allowance for employees of crime control department CCD, granting them additional salary based on 2011 basic pay scale.
A notification issued by the Home Department said the provincial cabinet gave formal approval for disbursement of allowance to eligible officers and staff of CCD.
Not all employees are eligible
The new order clearly maintains that not all employees will qualify for this benefit.
The allowance will not be granted to those serving on deputation in CCD, suspended officers, or those currently on long-term leave.

Individuals who have been designated as Officers on Special Duty (OSDs) will also not qualify for payment.
The Punjab Home Department said the incentive is intended for active-duty personnel working directly under CCD who meet all criteria.
The measure aims to recognize the challenging nature of duties performed by CCD personnel in maintaining internal security and countering terrorism threats.
