The state government has made it compulsory for all employees, except class IV employees, to pass the Hindi writing and reading test for annual salary increment. This Hindi note drafting test is conducted by the Revenue Board. Without passing this exam, no employee can be granted annual salary increment.
The Finance Department has sent a letter to all the departmental secretaries, divisional commissioners and deputy commissioners and said that if any employee is granted annual salary increment without passing this exam, then consider it an irregularity and take action against the responsible officer.
The Accounting Officer will be punished!
- The Finance Department has also said that if such irregularities are found, the concerned office head and the Accounting Officer who verified the salary fixation will be held guilty for it.
- Also, the excess amount paid from the irregular salary hike against the rules will be recovered from the concerned office head who approved it.
- At the same time, strict disciplinary action will be taken against the Accounting Officer who verified the salary hike and salary fixation in an incorrect manner.
What else did the Finance Department say?
According to the Finance Department, if in any case salary increment has been approved and after retirement/death in service it is found that the salary increments given were irregular, then in such a situation the salary should be re-determined by correcting the mistake for calculation of pension.
Also, pension and other benefits should be calculated on that basis. Also, all the office heads will check the service book of their subordinate employees and mention in it the certificate that it has been checked. It will also have to be mentioned that the approved salary increment and the fixed salary are as per the rules and government orders.
