Sixth Pay Commission: State govt forms fifth pay panel

KOLKATA: With pay packets of central government employees getting fatter, the state government on Thursday constituted the fifth pay commission for state employees. The commission set up under retired IAS S N Ghosh will submit its report within six months.

As of now, state employees have to remain satisfied with a Puja bonus of Rs 1,000 and an advance. State finance minister Asim Dasgupta has included a larger section of employees for this moolah this year. State employees with emoluments up to Rs 12,000 a month will be entitled to bonus, that was Rs 10,000 till last year.

The pay commission will also suggest changes for "the needs for social accountability and efficiency of the administration and also the decisions of the Government of India on the recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission" . The state has 1 million employees on its payroll.

Importantly, the existing promotion policies will be examined , which will take into account the "norms of promotions, efficiencies/productivity, wherever relevant".
