According to the Finance Ministry summary, the salaries of the employees working in the Presidency, Prime Minister House, Senate, National Assembly, Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), health department, and  National Accountability Bureau (NAB) will not be increased by 25%.

The other departments include the International Bureau (IB), Parliamentary Affairs Division, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), high courts, Islamabad Police, Motorway Police, and Airport Security Force (ASF) will not be raised.
