Hyderabad: The Telangana government on Wednesday released G.Os pertaining to implementation of 10th Pay Revision Commission for government employees and retired staff. Although government took decision on February 5 to give 43 per cent fitment, a G.O. could not be issued due to MLC elections. However, government wrote a letter to Election Commission in this regard after which the formalities were completed
Four G.Os-25, 26, 27 and 28 were released, but government did not specify the mode of payment of arrears. Although, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, while making announcement to offer 43 per cent fitment to government staff hinted that arrears would be added into GPF accounts, there was no mention of it in the Government Order.
According to employee unions, the government is contemplating to make arrear payments by way of bonds. A section of employees might be dissatisfied if such a decision was taken which could affect party’s prospects in upcoming MLC elections. Hence, no mention of mode of payment of arrears was included in the G.O., employee leaders felt. Meanwhile, in the main G.O. numbering 25, the Minimum Pay was fixed at Rs 13,000.
After negotiations with the employees unions, a fitment of 43 per cent was fixed. With this the Master Scale should have been modified but it was not done. In the meeting with the Chief Minister, it was decided that the revision of pay would come into effect from July 1, 2013 notionally and with monetary benefit from June 2 , 2014.
Rest of the G.Os were regarding Dearness and House Rent Allowances etc. However, these G.Os were regarding revised pay of working employees. Government needs to release separate orders on other allowances, automatic advancement schemes , pensioners and pensionary benefits.
