According to General Ahmed, the increased allowance has been included in the 2025 Federal Government budget and will take effect once the budget is passed.
General Ahmed noted that the Federal Government approved the increase and urged corps members to show gratitude by demonstrating dedication throughout their service year.
He also reassured them of their safety, confirming that they will not be posted to areas with security concerns.
