Informing that an order issued yesterday by the Ministry concerned approved 7th Pay scales for RIMS pensioners, the institute's Director, Professor Dr A Santa has assured that 7th Pay will be implemented for the pensioners very soon.
Speaking to media persons at RIMS jubilee hall today, Dr Santa said that more than 900 RIMS pensioners have been demanding implementation of 7th Pay for quite some time, and lauded the Ministry for the positive step.
On the other hand, RIMS Chief Account Officer Elangbam Devendro said that around Rs 2.6 crore is required every month for giving pension to the beneficiaries and assured that necessary calculations will be carried out with 7th Pay in mind so as to implement the pay structure as soon as possible.
However, he explained that the account section is facing shortage of staff and as such, it will take around three weeks to calculate the amount for each pensioner.
