The government is set to implement salary increases and increments for public servants starting in April, as proposed in the 2025 Budget. In light of the Sinhala and Hindu New Year, arrangements have been made to disburse the April monthly salaries on the 10th, ahead of the usual payment date.
Following the passage of the 2025 budget on March 21, the government will issue a circular outlining the increased salaries and incentives within a week. This initiative was first announced by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, in his capacity as the Minister of Finance, Planning, and Economic Development, during the budget presentation to Parliament on February 17.
The Ministry of Public Administration is scheduled to release a detailed circular on March 28, specifying the procedure for disbursing the revised salaries and benefits to public sector employees.
