WestBengal govt to clear Pay Commission arrears, bonus enhanced.

   Kolkata, Aug 2 (PTI) Despite the pressure of over two lakh crore debt, the West Bengal government today announced it would clear 50 per cent of arrear payment to its employees after October 1st as per state's 5th Pay Commission recommendation. "The erstwhile Left Front government failed to give anything to employees despite the announcement of the pay commission.

   We gave 50 per cent arrears last year soon after we came to power, while the rest 50 per cent arrear will be given before Durgapuja this year," Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said. "This will result in a burden of about Rs 500 crore, but we are committed to clear the dues this year," the chief minister said after a discussion with Finance Minister Amit Mitra. The erstwhile LF government had announced the implementation of the 5th pay Commission recommendation effective from April 1st, 2009.
