CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu cabinet on Wednesday approved the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations which will benefit more than ten lakh government employees and teachers in the state.
A cabinet meeting chaired by chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami approved the pay commission recommendations after a high-level committee headed by finance secretary K Shanmugam submitted its report to the government recently.
"The cabinet gave its nod for the order to be issued," said a source. There will be 20% hike in the salaries of government employees and teachers.
Government employees had held a series of agitations in the past few months, seeking an interim relief until the implementation of the pay commission recommendations. It even led the Madras high court to pass an order staying the protests as they violated service rules. The employees and teachers withdrew their strike after a stern warning from the court.
