In the Government Order second read above, orders were issued revising the scales of pay of employees/ teachers on a ” pay scale to pay scale basis” notionally with effect from 1-1-2006 with monetary benefit from 1-1-2007 based on the recommendations of the Official Committee. Subsequently, One Man Commission was constituted to examine the anomalies, consequent on the implementation of the revised scales of pay and more specifically to examine the representations of the teachers associations to extend Central Scales of pay. The recommendation of the One Man Commission was accepted by Government in toto and 87 Government Orders were issued department-wise revising the pay scales of various categories.

2) As per the orders of the Hon’ble High Court, dated:OS-03-2012 in W.P.No.7006 of 2011, the Government constituted “Pay Grievance Redressal Cell” (PGRC) to examine the representations received from the employees associations / Heads of Department / individual employees including the aggrieved petitioners in Writ Petitions filed challenging the G.O.Ms.No.71, Finance (Pay Cell) Department, dated:26-02-2011. An elaborate exercise was done by the PGRC on 4376 representations received from various associations / individuals / Writ Petitioners and heard their grievances in person before arriving at conclusions. Based on the recommendations of the PGRC, 89 Government Orders were issued benefitting around two lakhs employees.

Further a number of requests are being made by individual employees /associations and information on present their request are sought under Right to Information Act 2005, which has resulted in voluminous work in Finance Department.
