There were already fears that the government may tax their earnings from sixth pay commission arrears 100 percent from the 40 percent arrears they were being paid this year.
This could have left many central government employees without much cash from the arrears they were being paid.
Though the government later denied but the fear is still looming as no clear instructions have been issued in this regard.
The government has given hefty rise to central government employees, around 25 percent and the lowest government employee will be taking away at least more than Rs 10000 as monthly salary.
The good news here is limited to only group D employees. High ranking officials would not get as much benefit as their Group 'D' counterparts get as they already are in a larger tax bracket and may also be required to pay a "surcharge" on their salaries.
The government had divided arrears in two installments with central government employees getting 40 percent amount of the arrears this year and the rest 60 percent next year.
