MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
(SMT. D. PURANDESWARI)
(a) to (c): A communication dated 11.5.2010 was sent to
all State Governments requesting them to send the detailed
proposals in the prescribed format as per terms and
conditions mentioned therein for availing of 80% central
assistance for meeting the additional expenditure involved
in implementation of the revised pay scales. A copy of this
is available on the Ministry’s website at
www.educaiton.nic.in. Central assistance for reimbursement
of 80% of the additional financial requirement for meeting
arrears for salary revision of teachers in higher education
from 1.1.2006 to 31.3.2010 is subject to adoption of the
entire package of benefits, including the age of
superannuation. Several States have asked for a review of
the decision of raising age of superannuation as a
precondition for availing Central assistance. No amount has
been released so far.
