Mizoram Finance Minister Lalsawta today informed the state legislature that the state government intended to implement the seventh central pay commission during 2018-2019.
Replying to questions from five members, Lalsawta said that the government had been waiting for the recommendation of a committee to study the seventh pay commission which was yet to submit its report and recommendations.
The four-member committee, constituted on November 13 last year, is headed by the State Planning Board Vice chairman H Liansailova and was instructed to submit its report within six months.
He said that the state government would incur additional expenditure of Rs 563.24 crore if and when the seventh central pay commission recommendation was implemented.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that the tripura government will form an expert committee regarding implementation of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations for the state government employees, the new Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb said today.
This decision was taken at the first meeting of the council of ministers held here during the day, Dasgupta, who took oath as the chief minister in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday, told a press conference.
Deb said he would not elaborate more on the issue since the Model Code of Conduct is on as polling is scheduled to be held on March 12 at the Charilam constituency.
Election to the constituency was countermanded due to the death of CPI(M) candidate Ramendra Narayan Debbarma, a week before the Feb 18 elections in the state.
The BJP had promised in its manifesto that the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission would be implemented during the first meeting of the cabinet if the BJP and its ally the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT) were voted to power.
The chief minister said the meeting also decided to recommend CBI investigation into the killings of two journalists Shantanu Bhowmick and Sudip Datta Bhowmick, as promised in the manifesto.
