Assam Govt Employees to Get Full Salary for April 2020

The Assam Government will pay full salary to all the state government employees for the month of April 2020 despite the economy is being severely affected by COVID-19 lockdown


Addressing a press meet in the NHM office, Guwahati, State health and finance minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma clarified that the state government is not going for any salary cut of its employees unlike other states across the country.



Though many state governments have resorted to salary cut of their employees, we are not going for salary cut of our employees. We will pay full salary in the month of May,” said Dr. Sarma.

However, this time they will get the salary on 8th May instead of the first day of the month,” added Sarma.

He reiterated that tax collection including GST for the month of April 2020 is very meager; almost an 80% drop in GST collection in comparison to April 2019.
