PATNA: Deputy CM and BJP senior Sushil Kumar Modi has demanded from the Centre to clear the payment of Rs10,932 crore due to it pertaining to the first quarter of the 2020-21 financial year.
The amount would be used to meet the expenditures to be incurred on developmental and other activities concerned, including the payment of salaries to the university teachers as per the UGC norms and to contractual teachers under Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA).
In a letter addressed to the Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday, Modi said the first quarterly payment of the fund worth Rs2,499 crore should also be made without deducting any sum that is due for the SSA. The amount would be used for paying salaries to the contractual teachers at the rate of Rs833 crore per month for April-June period. During the 2019-20 fiscal, Rs326 crore was deducted.
The overall sum of Rs10,932 crore also includes the payment of Rs7,434 crore to be made on the recommendations of the 15th Finance Commission to the panchayati raj institutions (PRIs) and urban local bodies — Rs5,018 crore for the PRIs and Rs2,416 crore for the local urban bodies. They would be used to carry out various developmental activities, as it would be difficult to execute works after the onset of monsoon.
Modi has asked for the payment of the central share worth Rs999 crore pertaining to the first quarter of the current fiscal to pay salaries to the university teachers as per their revised scales in line with the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission. He said Rs767 crore had already been paid to them as per the UGC norms.
