Mizoram’s pay panel submits reports

AIZAWL, May 28: The Mizoram state Cabinet sub-committee on 6th pay recommendations submitted its report to Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla.
The pay panel headed by Personal and Administrative Reforms Minister H Liansailova proposed on January 1, 2010 as the effective date, against the Fitment Committee's earlier proposal of January 1, 2006, without arrears.
Liansailova said the reports had been prepared in line with implementation of the sixth pay recommendations in states like Punjab, Haryana, Orissa, Meghalaya, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh and taking into consideration the proposals and grievances of as many as 84 service associations under the Mizoram government.
The sub-committee recommendations have excluded contractual and muster-roll employees, pensioners and employees of colleges and of law and judicial department.
While pointing out that certain privileges have been shown to Grade IV workers, who have no scope for promotion, the committee chairman made it clear that arrears would not be paid.
''Since the Government employees are the real stakeholders of the Government, who are aware of the Government's financial health, they are expected not to insist on getting arrears,'' Liansailova was quoted as saying by the official source. The Cabinet sub-committee was constituted on 12 January 2010, after the fitment committee's recommendations were not agreeable to certain groups of government employees. It had visited a number of states to study their pay structures. Liansailova said the 6th Pay Commission recommendations would be implemented on the basis of availability of fund. ''The Government will have to sacrifice a large amount of plan and non plan fund for payment of arrear and the enhanced pay as the Centre cannot be expected to give additional grant for meeting the expenses on implementation of the 6th Pay Commission Report,'' he added.  (Agencies)
