TRIPURA CHIEF MINISTER AND ASSAM FINANCE MINSTER HOLD MEETING TO IMPLEMENT 7TH PAY COMMISSION

Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb and Assam Finance Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma held a meeting in Agartala in connection with the implementation of seventh pay commission in the state. The two met with the three-member expert committee constituted for this purpose. Dr. Sarma later asserted that the latest pay commission will be implemented as early as possible.

It may be mentioned that implementation of the latest pay commission within three months of the formation of the government was one of the poll promises made by the Bharatiya Janata Party during the electioneering process in Tripura.

Currently, the salary of the government employee is as per the fourth pay commission. Under this, if the salary is Rs 20,000, it would increase to Rs 35,000 if the latest pay commission gets implemented in the state.
