Cabinet approves revised pay scales of teachers and equivalent academic
staff in Universities/Colleges & centrally funded technical
institutions
The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given
its approval for revision of pay scales for about 8 lakh teachers and
other equivalent academic staff in higher educational institutions under
the purview of the University Grants Commission (UGC) and in Centrally
Funded Technical Institutions, following implementation of the
recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission for Central Government
employees.
The decision will benefit 7.58 lakh teachers and equivalent academic
staff in the 106 Universities / Colleges which are funded by the
UGC/MHRD and also 329 Universities which are funded by State Governments
and 12,912 Govt. and private aided colleges affiliated to State Public
Universities.
In addition, the revised pay package will cover teachers of 119
Centrally Funded Technical Institutions viz. IITs, IISc, IIMs, IISERs,
IIITs, NITIE. etc.
The approved pay scales would be applicable from 1.1.2016. The annual
Central financial liability on account of this measure would be about
Rs. 9,800 crore.
The implementation of this pay revision will enhance the teachers’ pay
in the range of Rs. 10,400 and Rs. 49,800 as against the extant entry
pay due to the implementation of the 6th Central Pay Commission for the
pay of teachers. This revision would register an entry pay growth in the
range of 22% to 28 %.
For the State Govt. funded institutions, the revised pay scales will
require adoption by the respective State Governments. The Central
Government will bear the additional burden of the States on account of
revision of pay scales. The measures proposed in the revised pay
structure are expected to improve quality of higher education and also
attract and retain talent.
