Jammu Kashmir teachers' joint Action committee demanded removal of pay anomalies 1/5/2021 10:53:21 PM Early Times Report SRINAGAR, Jan 5: Leadership of JKTJAC today demanded removal of "huge pay anomaly of teachers and masters". Union territory General Secretary JKTJAC Saleem Sagar in a press statement said that their counterparts in rest of the Indian union territories are "far ahead than them in terms of Grade Pay and other service benefits". He claimed that teachers in all other Union Territories of India are placed in Grade Pays between 4200 to 5000. While as, here in Jammu and Kashmir, the same teacher is placed in Grade Pay of just 2800 with a huge difference and discrimination. Sagar said that on 5th August 2019, with the declaration of the State of Jammu & Kashmir as the Union Territory of India, they were hopeful that the employees of the Union territory of J &K will get all the benefits of all the allowances and the pay at par with their counterparts in centre and other union territories , however nothing concrete has been done in this regard yet. The teachers of the J &K Union Territory has suffered a lot previously, even though the then state fixed the pay anomaly of major departments over a period of time, the pay anomaly which the teachers of J&K UT suffer has been left unattended. While as per the Sixth Pay Commission the teachers were paid the Pay Band of Rs 5200-20200 with Grade Pay of Rs. 2800/ which in the revised pay matrix as per seventh Pay Commission was fixed at the Basic Pay of Rs. 29200. However the counter parts in other UTs are being paid higher grades. JKTJAC appealed Lt Governor of J&K Manoj Sinha ji, Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir, Principal Secretary to Government school Education department, Chairman Pay Anomaly committee J&K and the other officers appointed as members of pay Anomaly committee to immediately address the long pending demands of teachers of J&K and bring them at par with Teachers of other UTs of India in respect of pay and grades.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
