The sixth Assam Pay Commission will be paying the 500,000 employees of the state government on a central pay scale.
The Pay Commission report has been submitted to the Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi.
"I really don't know the contents and the recommendations of the report, but I strongly feel the commission might have considered central pay scale for our employees," the chief minister said, while addressing the media.
The pay scale will be effective in a retrospective fashion from April 1, 2009.
"We are happy that the Pay Commission report was submitted in about 16 months. We are hopeful and optimistic that the recommendations would fulfil the aspirations of the state employees," Basab Kalita, secretary of the All Assam Employees Union, told.
"We had already announced that our government would give central pay scale to our employees and very soon we are going to implement the Pay Commission's recommendations," the chief minister said.
