The Assam government today accepted the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission and its employees are scheduled to get enhanced salaries from this month.

The Cabinet at a special meeting here, presided by Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, accepted the recommendations of the Pay Commission without much changes this evening, state Parliamentary Affairs Minister Bharat Narah told reporters.

The employees would get salaries with retrospective effect from April one and the arrears would be given in instalments, he added.

The Sixth Pay Commission headed by retired bureaucrat Bhaskar Barua had submitted its report in November last and it was placed in the just-concluded session of the state legislative assembly.

The state government will have to bear a burden of more than Rs 3,000 crore in implementing the new pay scales.

On 29th June, 2009 in the Budget speech Hon'ble Chief Minister declared that ".... The Assam Govt. employees have been asking for pay parity with their Central Govt. counterparts. I have decided to adopt Central Govt Pay Scales for our State Govt employees also. This will put to rest once for all, a long pending grievance of State Govt employees....". There is no reflection of CM's commitment neither in the 6th Assam Pay Commission's Report nor in the last day's State Cabinet meeting. This is very unfortunate. The published pay scale is neither at equal rate nor equal pay to the Central Govt counterparts. The CM should remember his earlier commitment. Without allowing central scale of pay the Govt should not demand for additional fund for salary purpose to the Central Finance Commission.
