Chandigarh, May 18
The Haryana Government has decided to grant adhoc relief to the employees of Municipal Corporations, Faridabad and Gurgaon, Municipal Committees/Councils and Improvement Trusts as an interim measure towards the payment of arrears accruing on account of the revision of pay structure as per the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission.
A letter to this effect issued by the Urban Local Bodies Department, Haryana states that the employees, who were in the pre-revised pay scale of Rs. 2550-3200 are entitled to get an adhoc relief of Rs. 20,200 for 36 months counted from 1.1.2006 to 31.12.2008.
Similarly, the employees who were in the pay scale of Rs. 2610-3540 are entitled to get an adhoc relief of Rs. 21,900; the employees in the pay scale of Rs. 2650-4000 are entitled to get an adhoc relief of Rs. 25,700; employees in the pay scale of Rs. 3050-4350 are entitled to get an adhoc relief of Rs. 28,100.
An adhoc relief of Rs. 29,700 , Rs.37,400 and Rs. 43,200 will be given to the employees in the pay scale of Rs. 3050-4590, Rs. 4000-6000 and Rs. 4500-7000, respectively. Similarly, the employees in the pay scale of Rs. 5000-7850, Rs. 5500-9000 and Rs. 6500-9900 are entitled to get an adhoc relief of Rs.49,000, Rs. 55,100 and Rs. 60,900, respectively.
The employees, who were in the pay scale of Rs. 6500-10500, Rs. 8000-13500 and Rs. 10,000-13900 are entitled to get an adhoc relief of Rs. 64,300, Rs. 82,000 and Rs. 90,600, respectively. The employees in the pay scale of Rs. 13500-17250 and Rs. 18400-22400 are entitled to get an adhoc relief of Rs.1,22,200 and Rs. 3,14,100, respectively.
The letter states that every eligible employee shall be entitled to draw the adhoc relief upto a period ending 31.12.2008. The payment of adhoc relief would be restricted to the period actually spent in service upto 31.12.2008, with reference to eligible employees who joined the service on a date after 1.1.2006 with the month in which he joined to be taken as full month for the purposes of computing adhoc relief. The employees otherwise eligible to receive adhoc relief in terms of this order but remained on extra ordinary leave or deputation and did not join back on or before 31.12.2008 would not be paid any adhoc relief in terms of this order.
This is a purely ad hoc relief adjustable against the entitlement of arrears on account of revision of pay structure to be put in force shortly. In all such events where after the revisions are made and the entitlement in its terms is worked out with reference to the concerned employee, it is found that payment in terms of this order exceeded his entitlement, the excess amount so paid shall be recovered out of any future payment of arrears or, as the case may be, in 12 equal installments to be deductable out of the future payment of salary. An undertaking consenting to this effect, in addition to all such other effects as deemed necessary, must always be obtained from the concerned employee before the relief in terms of this order is disbursed to him.
Necessary deductions on account of income tax must be made before disbursing the relief on this account.
