The Punjab cabinet which met here Monday under the Chairmanship of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal resolved to accept in principle the recommendations of the Fifth Punjab Pay Commission w.e.f. January 1, 2006 immediately after the report was submitted by the Commission to the state government. The commission was likely to give its report within next week, the spokesman added.
The employees unions of Punjab were demanding to implement the pay commission report before the announcement of elections. The teachers of Punjab colleges who are covered under UGC rules are also on strike for getting UGC pay scales.
It is learnt that the pay commission report is ready for the last two weeks but the state government didn't press for it though commission Chairman S.K.Tuteja was ready to submit the final report.
Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal today said that state's Sixth Pay Commission will submit its report in four days.
Badal said that the recommendations would be implemented with retrospective effect from January 2006.
