Pakistan – New Minimum Wage and Amended EOBI Contributions – 1 July 2024

The Pakistani government announced a change in the minimum wage on 12 June 2024. This became effective on 1 July 2024, after being formally approved on 28 June 2024. The revised EOBI contribution amounts are the consequence of the new minimum wage. The minimum wage used to be PKR 32,000. As a result, the EOBI contributions have been adjusted as follows:

Parameters	Until 30-06-2024 (Amounts in PKR)	From 01-07-2024 onwards (Amounts in PKR)
Minimum Wage	32,000	37,000
EOBI Employee Contribution	1% of 32,000 = 320	1% of 37,000 = 370
EOBI Employer Contribution	5% of 32,000 = 1600	5% of 37,000 = 1850

The amended EOBI contributions and minimum wage became effective from 1 July 2024.
