Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has announced to implement the recommendations of the Pay Revision Committee (PRC) to work out the modalities for implementing the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission, for the 350,000-odd state government employees.
The chief minister said that the state cabinet, which met here recently, had approved the recommendations of the PRC.
The pay revision would be made effective from January 1, 2006. He said that Haryana is the first State in the country to have implemented the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission from January 1, 2006 and to have paid arrears in cash to its employees.
Hooda said that with the revision of the pay scales of the employees, the net additional burden in 2008-09 and 2009-10 combined would be Rs 6,431.26 crore.
He said that the employees would be given revised pay from January 2009 and 40 per cent of the arrears of pay would be paid in cash in the year 2008-09. The revision in allowances would be made effective from January 2009.
The revision in the pay scale and allowances had given a substantial increase in the salaries of all categories of employees, Hooda added.
He said that arrears of pay for the 2006-2008 period on account of pay revision would be about Rs 3,350 crore.
Of this, about Rs 2,750 crore would be due to the revision in the salaries of Group C and Group D employees. In addition, about Rs 850 crore would be required for the payment of revised pensions for this period.
In 2008-09, additional burden for the current revised pay, pension and allowances and for 40 per cent of arrears of pay and pension would be about Rs 1,990 crore.
In 2009-10, the additional burden for the current revised pay, pension and allowances and for 60 per cent of arrears of pay and pension would be about Rs 4,450 crore.
