Budgetary relief allowances

There are two budgetary relief allowances that gets applied depending on an employee’s basic salary

Budgetary relief allowance 1

There are two conditions that determine the first budgetary relief allowance

Making the 1000 –

  • If the basic salary of an employee is less than or equal to 20,000, then the Budgetary relief allowance will be 1,000 LKR
  • If the basic salary of an employee is greater than 20,000 but less than 21,000, the budgetary relief allowance will be the difference between 21,000 and the basic salary (21,000 - basic salary = B.R. Allowance 1)
  • Resulting amount is Budegtary relief allowance 1 (1000)

Budgetary relief allowance 2

There are conditions that determine the value of the second budgetary relief allowance.

Making the 1500 –

  • If the basic salary of an employee is less than or equal to 40,000, then the Budgetary relief allowance will be 1,500 LKR
  • If the basic salary of an employee is greater than 40,000 but less than 41,500, the budgetary relief allowance will be the difference between 41,500 and the basic salary (41,500 - basic salary = B.R. Allowance)

Making the 1000 –

  • if If the basic salary of an employee is less than or equal to 40,000, then the Budgetary relief allowance will be 1,000 LKR

Total of the two is Budgetary relief allowance 2 (2500)
