The State Government on Wednesday issued orders for implementation of the Seventh Central Pay Commission (CPC) to government employees as well as employees of grant-in-aid educational institutions.
While the revised pay matrix will be implemented from January 1, 2016 onwards, actual payment through monthly salaries will begin only from January 2017. However, only Part ‘A’ of the schedule appended to the CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2016 as adopted by the State Government shall be implemented.
The order does not cover judicial and non-judicial officers and employees functioning in the courts. It shall not be applicable to the employees of corporations, autonomous bodies, societies, agencies, public sector undertakings and also the employees working for Panchayati Raj institutions and urban local bodies. In both cases separate instructions shall be issued after detailed examination by a committee constituted for the purpose.
The existing system on interest-free advances for medical treatment, travelling allowance for family of the deceased, travelling allowance on tour or transfer and leave travel concession shall continue as hitherto.
However, interest bearing advances relating to motor car advances and motorcycle or scooter or moped advances have been discontinued with immediate effect.
