Government employees across several departments report that they have not received their salaries for over two and a half months.

Despite assurances from the Taliban’s Ministry of Finance that payments would be processed by Saturday, workers confirm that no funds have been transferred yet.


Sources suggest that the closure of border crossings with Pakistan has impacted customs revenue, causing the delay.

Employees expressed frustration, stating that the lack of income during the harsh winter months is becoming unbearable.
One civil servant noted that payments are halted “until further notice.” While the ministry denies systemic delays, the financial uncertainty is creating a crisis for thousands of public sector families.
