Bhopal: In the era of the economic crisis due to Corona crisis, Shivraj government has taken a big decision for the employees. The government has decided to take big steps in the interest of employees. From July 2020, annual increments are being given to about one million employees. This will bring an additional financial burden of Rs 540 crore annually on the government.
Due to Corona casualty in the state, the employees were banned from giving arrears of the third and final installment of the seventh pay scale. Earlier, the decision to increase the 5% dearness allowance was withdrawn. Due to this, the government has saved about two thousand crore rupees.
In this regard, sources say that some officials wanted that the annual increment to be given from July 1 should be postponed for some time in the time of crisis, but this was clearly refused. It is also being told that from July 1, the file for giving an annual increment of around 3% has been put forward. About 20 thousand crore rupees are spent in salary and allowances in the state every year. Accordingly, about 540 crore rupees are to be spent on the increment from July to March. Provisions have been made for this in the budget but the situation will be better with petrol and diesel. Sources say that the additional tax of one rupee on the petrol and diesel will be improved by the state government. Through this, the government will be able to get about 370 crore rupees from petrol and two hundred crore rupees from diesel.
