You might be wondering: is Rs. 200,000 per month for Deputy Manager a good salary? The answer is yes this is significantly higher than a standard BPS-17 government salary in Punjab. PERA positions, while contract-based, offer market-competitive salaries because PERA is a regulatory authority with its own pay structure separate from the standard BPS scale.
