Guwahati, Dec 27 : The chairman of the Assam Government Employees Pay Commission, Bhaskar Barua, today ruled out the possibility of finalising any revision of the pay structure of government employees and submitting the report before the parliamentary elections next year.
The five-member sixth pay panel was constituted in June this year and the time frame for submission of the pay revision report was fixed for June next year.
Barua, who is here to train senior officials and police officers on disaster management, has ruled out the submission of the pay commission’s final report by that deadline.
According to him, the commission has its hands full with over 300 memoranda submitted to it by different state government employees’ organisations demanding pay revision.
He said the teachers and the state employees had demanded parity in payscales with central government employees. The pay commission thus needs more time to scrutinise every aspect of the pay revision exercise, he added.
He said there was no alternative to extending the deadline for the submission of the report
