The Tamil Nadu government on Sunday announced arrears to its staff, accruing due to implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission. To be paid in cash immediately, this would cost the exchequer Rs 4,247 crore.
Employees who had completed two years of service as on January 1, 2009, would be paid three months' salary as arrears and those below that would be paid one month's salary. The pensioners and family pensioners would be paid three months’ pension as interim arrears.
The amount would be adjusted when the final arrears are paid. The government had constituted a committee for the implementation of Sixth Pay Commission. As the committee required more time to finalise its recommendations, the government had decided to release part of the arrears, said a release.
It is good to hear the interim relief and at this juncture the report need to be executed in to to and there should be substantial relief in the income tax also. This is a lacuna on the part of central Govt. and the salaried people are really not getting the true relief
