Himachal Pradesh Government Revises Pay Scales for 14,000 Employees
The Himachal Pradesh government has changed how it calculates salaries for about 14,000 employees.
This impacts 89 categories of employees.
A previous rule, Section 7A, has been removed.
This means employees will see their pay reduced by ₹5,000 to ₹15,000 each month.
This is due to a lower multiplying factor used to calculate their pay.
The government stated it won't recover any overpayments due to this change.
Employee unions are planning to meet with government officials to discuss these changes and find a solution.
This change will affect those in the lower and middle sections.
The Himachal Pradesh government issued a notification regarding revised pay scales.
Approximately 14,000 employees in 89 categories are affected.
The amendment omits Section 7A of the HP Civil Services Rules.
Employees face a reduction of ₹5,000 to ₹15,000 per month.
Employee unions plan to meet with the government to discuss the issue.
