Teachers in government colleges and universities in the state are set to get a pay hike after a gap of nearly 10 years. Based on the seventh pay commission recommendation, the state government will issue orders revising their pay scale in a week’s time, said a senior government official, adding that their salaries would rise by 18% to 24%.
Under the new pay scale, professors are set to earn a basic pay of more than ₹1.4 lakh per month, which is 30% more than a TN MLA’s salary. The pay of entry-level teaching staff like assistant professors will be hiked to around ₹70,000 per month from around ₹55,000.
“The changes would come into notional effect from January 1, 2016 and monetary effect from October 1, 2017,” said the official. This indicates that government teachers would also be losing arrears for 21 months on the lines of other state government employees.
TN govt 2nd to adopt revised pay scale, to bear addl burden
Tamil Nadu is set to be the second state in the country to revise the pay of government teachers based on the seventh pay commission recommendations as directed by the University Grants Commission.
Teacher unions were uncertain about TN adopting the UGC’s revised pay scale since the central government had earlier announced that it would reduce its financial contribution from 80% to 50%. However, a senior government official told TOI that the state government will be bearing the additional financial burden.
A rationalisation index of 2.67 has been adopted while calculating the entry or basic pay for assistant and associate professors. Accordingly, the basic pay of assistant professors would vary from ₹57,700-₹79,800. Associate professors would get ₹1.31 lakh basic pay, while the basic pay of professors is ₹1.4-₹1.8 lakh.
Teachers would be receiving city compensation, dearness, house rent and medical allowances over and above the basic pay. While DA would be 7% of the basic pay, other allowances will vary.
M Ravichandran, retired principal of a government college, said it was a pity that no other state except Arunachal Pradesh had come forward to adopt UGC’s revised pay scale, adding that TN’s move was a welcome step.
“TN will be a pioneering state in recognising the services of college education. For more details, one needs to wait till the government order is issued,” he added.
