According to the notification, the honorarium for trainers, subject matter experts, will remain at Tk3,600 per hour per session for trainers of third-grade officials or joint secretaries and above. For deputy secretaries and below, the honorarium has been increased to Tk3,000 per hour, an uplift from the previous Tk2,000.
Course directors will now receive Tk2,000 per day, marking an increase from the previous amount. Course coordinators' honorariums have been raised to Tk1,500 per day, while support staff honorariums have been increased to Tk1,000 per day.
For trainees, the honorarium for subject-based internal training within respective departments remains Tk1,000 per day for trainees from grade-10 and below.
