Ahmedabad, 12 April 2012

The Gujarat High Court on Wednesday directed the state government to pay total wages as per the recommendations of the sixth pay commission to the ‘fixed pay workers.’

Total pay includes basic pay, dearness allowances and other allowances.

Earlier the High Court ordered same for the employees on contract, but the order was silent on ‘fixed pay employees’ working in the government.

The court order is likely to add burden fo Rs 3900 crore on the state exchequer, including Rs 2500 crore as arrears and Rs 1400 crore per year.
