Overview
- Education Minister Ranoj Pegu met SRD teacher representatives and assured them there is no change to salaries, service conditions, or the budget head that pays their wages.
- The teachers were regularised from Samagra Shiksha into Assam government posts and their payroll records were migrated into the Finance Department's FinAssam system.
- The state moved this month's salary processing from district treasuries to the Dispur Treasury as part of broader treasury reforms, which officials say caused a one-time delay.
- Reports differ slightly on the short-term timeline for payment with the minister quoted as saying salaries will arrive either within two days or within a few days, and teachers' groups have warned of protests starting August 12 if concerns persist.
- If the FinAssam migration completes as planned, the government says salary bills, payslips and monthly disbursements will be handled through the new system and similar delays are not expected to continue.
