Why the arrears of 7th pay commission of Assam contractual Tet teachers will be late? Know the reason and analysis

Image
As Assam government announced the revision of pay commission in Assam with effect from april 2016. The revised salary will benefit around 5 lakh state government employees . The revision will benefit contractual tet teachers working under SSA also. As said by the hounourable finance minister Himanta biswa sharma the arrears of 1 year will be released in two installment. First installment was ought to be realeased to all before Bohag bihu but due to the fund allocation crisis only 3rd and 4th grade employee were able to draw it and that also a sum of 10000 and 12000 only. Most probably first installment of arrears will be released to all(except contractual tet teachers) within the last of this month or first week of next month. So now main topic here is why contractual tet teachers arrear will be delayed. First point is that in SSA there is ratio of funding pattern in 90:10 means centre expense its 90 % and state share its 10%.So accordingly bill have to be prepared first an

A great sign of relief for Assam SSA TET teachers .Dont panic and stay calm for the time being now..

Few days before on date:12/05/2017, there was an order copy released by SSA regarding the time period extension of terms for 11 months, only after signing an agreement. Then right after few days of that order copy again one email appeared on Date:22/05/2017 ,stating not to download the previous order copy ,means there was a modification left out to be done. And today finally an order copy was released stating that the terms of SSA  TET teachers whose date of agreement expired on May has been further extended to 11 months. So till 11 months no worries but what will happen after that ? Thats the big question right now. Dont panic guys Lets discuss with our concern Education Minister regarding the matter.As we all know at a once we cannot loose our job because RTE is a fundamental right now and it cannot be uplifted.And moreover SSA is 90% governed by centre so its approval is must required as state alone cannot take any decision.As soon as centre approve definitely the

What is that 10 % enhancement on existing basic pay email order copy by SSA Assam?

Image
All the SSA Assam teachers were  waiting for their revision in salary eagerly and suddenly an email by Chief Accounts officer of SSA arrives directing to prepare bill with 10% enhancement in present basic pay. It appears to be like a nightmare to all teachers as all were expecting revision in pay but at last an email flashed of providing a megre 10 % increment in basic pay. So now questions comes that means we are not entitled to 7th pay. Actually if you are thinking that than I must say you are totally wrong . As our education minister has almost clarified that SSA contractual teacher will be totally benefitted from the revision of pay. And even i said and showed the order copy in my last article regarding PAB,MHRD approving the budget of SSA assam for 2017 to 2018 session with copy of approved minutes . So there is no chance that we will be excluded from the revision.It is almost 100% sure but it is taking a little bit time for the process to go on. And
