Ms. Jayalalithaa said the new pay commission would consider the demand for change in pay scale and regularisation of services of employees under consolidated pay scheme and time pay scale for those who were receiving salary under special time. “These demands could be considered only by taking into consideration the hierarchy and parity. So only the pay commission will consider these demands,” she said.

Ms. Jayalalithaa said the financial assistance given to the legal heirs of the government employees in the event of death under the family welfare scheme would be increased from Rs. 1.5-3 lakh. Accordingly, the monthly amount deducted from the salary of the government employee would be hiked from Rs. 30 to Rs. 60. It would cost the government an additional Rs. six crore.
