Summary:
The wait of Gujarat government employees to get a 30% House Rent Allowance (HRA) could be endless as the committee of ministers is yet to come to a conclusion. The state finance minister Nitin Patel said this from the floor of Gujarat assembly on Wednesday while replying to question of Congress MLA from Kodinar Mohanlal Vala. Replying to it, Patel said: “The state government has formed a sub-committee of ministers and officials of the finance department on October 10, 2016. The MLA alleged that this showed that there was a lack of will of state government to pay the allowances and arrears to its employees. This was aimed at removing anomaly in salaries, allowances and arrears of government employees and officials..
