Summary:
Uncertainty over salaryThere had been uncertainty on the payment of salary as the budget had not been passed over the impasse on tabling the Appropriation Bill. Though the budget was presented in the House on July 2, the Appropriation Bill could not be passed. With government not making up its mind on re-convening the Assembly to pass the Appropriation Bill, doubts were raised on payment of salary to government employees for this month. Book adjustmentThe funds for salary had been made through internal book adjustments, a senior government official told The Hindu. On July 21, the Lt Governor cleared the tabling of the Bill with a condition that the nominated legislators were allowed to attend the House proceedings..
