Current government employees and the retired pensioners in Andhra Pradesh haven’t been paid their monthly salaries and pensions by the AP government simultaneously. Under monetary rules, the bill regarding the salaries was delayed as it hasn’t been passed in the legislative council.
However, everyone thought that it would take another 2 more days to credit the salaries and pensions but even after a week the salaries are not credited. Actually, the AP government has already signed on the currency exchange bill but no department that belongs to the AP government hasn’t been issued salaries. This is irking the employees and pensioners too much.
Actually, the CMFS system has been adopted by the AP government under which the funds will be withdrawn to credit salaries to the government employees and this whole process takes place on the 20th every month. Even though the currency exchange bill gets delayed, it would take a day to disburse the funds from the Chief Minister after the bill gets approved by the governor. But, this simple process has been delayed for a week.
When the officials of the other departments enquired the revenue department about the delay, they said that there are technical issues regarding the disbursement of the funds and it clearly suggests is that there no problem with the delay in issuing the bill. It has been only 14 months since the YSRCP government came into ruling and already he paid some departments in installments all these days and now this care-free behavior is testing the patience of the AP citizens.
