SC judges earn more than president

According to a report published by The News earlier this year, Supreme Court judges earn more than the president, the prime minister, ministers, federal secretaries and parliamentarians.

Among the list, based on the previous salaries of the SC judges, the CJP receives the highest salary, the Supreme Court judges second, the president third, while the prime minister is getting a salary even less than ministers and federal secretaries.

At a PAC meeting, Chairman Noor Alam Khan told members that the president’s salary was Rs896,550, the prime minister’s Rs201,574, and the federal ministers’ Rs 338,125.

He shared that a parliamentarian’s salary is Rs 188,000, while a grade-22 officer gets Rs 591,475 a month.
