The Assam government's Finance (Budget) Department today issued a directive for payment of salary and pension benefits for the month of April 2015 without insisting on budget allocation, subject to subsequent adjustment from budget allocation of 2015-16.
The directive was issued to all Deputy Commissioners, Sub-Divisional Officers (Civil) and Treasury Officers, that all salary/ wages/ work-charged and muster roll payment/ Grants-in-Aid bills for payment of salary and pension benefits, an official release said here.
The move came after it was noticed that salaries and pensions of state government employees and pensioners in few departments and in few treasuries for the month of April, have not been disbursed till date for want of budget allocation from the administrative departments concerned.
Moreover, claims submitted by the authorities of Autonomous Councils for payment of salary/ wages/ work-charged and muster roll payment/ Grants-in-Aid for payment of salary for the month of April may also be released, the release added.
