Dead teacher draws salary for more than 18 months in Uttar Pradesh, probe ordered
Pilibhit: 12.08.2020
The education department in Uttar Pradesh has ordered a probe after it accidently found out that the salary of one of its teachers continued to be credited into his account for 18 months after his death.
Arvind Kumar, who was posted at Bilsanda primary school in Pilibhit, died on May 22, 2016. But, during the scrutiny of his documents--as his wife had applied for a job on compassionate grounds—the Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) of Pilibhit found that he got the salary till November 2017.
The BSA has now directed the block education officer to file a detailed report on this irregularity.
“The irregularity came to the fore when credentials of Kumar were being reviewed by the accounts section. Kumar had joined duty as teacher on November 5, 2015 and he died on May 22, 2016. But the accounts section continued transferring his monthly salary to his bank account till November 2017,” said BSA Devendra Swaroop. TNN
