Imphal, February 07, 2012:
A huge amount from the monthly salary of ADC teachers has been reportedly deducted by the concerned department in the name of paying tax to the UG groups and is allegedly being misused.
According to highly reliable source, it has been revealed that there are around 1400 teachers in the Sadar Hills.
These teachers received their monthly salaries after going through a long process.
First, the Education Department send the details of their salaries to the Treasury office and then the Treasury office transfer the amount of salary of the teachers to their respective bank accounts.
An order to this effect had already been issued by the Chief Secretary.
However, instead of following the order of the Chief Secretary, the Education department forwarded the salary amount of the teachers to the Treasury and withdrew the amount after being approved by the Treasury.
The amount is later deposited in the accounts of the teachers after deducting an amount of Rs 600 each from all the teachers.
The amount is deducted by the Education department in the name of paying tax to the UG groups, added the source.
The source further revealed that an ADC teacher gets a monthly salary of Rs 18,000 while a Head Master receives Rs 24,000.The total amount deducted from the salaries of the ADC teachers of Sadar Hills on a monthly basis come to around Rs 8,40,000.How much of this amount actually goes to paying tax to the UG groups is never disclosed by the concerned department.
This clearly indicated that the Education department and the high officials of Treasury office are involved in misusing the amount deducted from the salaries the ADC teachers, charged the source.
ADC teachers in the hills are also victims of the practice of deducting certain amounts from their salaries.
But the amount deducted is not the same for all the teachers.
An ADC teacher, on condition of anonymity, told Hueiyen Lanpao that the manner in which the Education department is deducting a certain amount from their monthly salary is not acceptable.
Their hard earned money is being misused by the concerned authorities.
