The Assam government accepted the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission and its employees are scheduled to get enhanced salaries from this month.
The Cabinet 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.
For, the State Government has been announcing time and again that the State employees would be paid at par with the Central Government employees, said the sources.
