New pay scales to be effective from June salary

State govt. releases guidelines for implementation of revised pay scales

Ending the agonising wait of employees, the State government has issued comprehensive guidelines for implementation of the revised pay scales for staff in different categories. Accordingly, the employees will forthwith get fitment benefit of 30% instead of 7.5% recommended by the first Pay Revision Commission. The dearness allowance of 30.92% as on July 1, 2018 will be merged in the pay as recommended by the PRC and the revised pay would come into force from the same day. After the announcement that notional benefit would be given for almost two years with effect from July 1, 2018 to March 31, 2020, the government said monetary benefit would be allowed from April 1 last year. Arrears for the period from April 1 last year to March 31 would be paid at the time of superannuation of the employee or to the legal heirs in case of demise of the employee.
