Around Rs. 2 crore expected to be deposited in CM\u2019s relief fund; deduction to be made from October salaries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PIMPRI-CHINCHWAD:<\/strong> Officials and employees of the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) will contribute one day\u2019s salary towards drought relief, with approximately Rs. 2 crore expected to be deposited in the Chief Minister\u2019s Relief Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Municipal Commissioner Dr. Vijay Suryawanshi has issued an order directing the civic body to deduct the amount from employees\u2019 October 2026 salaries. The decision follows the Maharashtra government\u2019s appeal to government employees across the state to contribute towards assistance for farmers and people affected by drought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the order, the contribution will be calculated on the basis of basic pay and dearness allowance (DA). The amount will be withheld from the October salary, and the remaining salary will be paid to employees after the deduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PCMC accounts department has been assigned the responsibility of implementing the order and completing the deduction process. The order also states that employees who have objections to the deduction must submit them in writing within two days. However, the contribution will not be less than an amount equivalent to one day\u2019s salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The civic administration expects to raise around Rs. 2 crore through the contributions of its officials and employees. The amount will be transferred to the Chief Minister\u2019s Relief Fund to support drought-affected people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satyawan Ubale, chief accounts and finance officer of the PCMC, confirmed the decision. \u201cThe one-day salary contribution will be made towards assistance for drought-affected people, as directed by the municipal commissioner. Around \u20b92 crore will be deposited in the Chief Minister\u2019s Relief Fund,\u201d Ubale said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative is intended to support the state government\u2019s drought-relief efforts and provide financial assistance to people facing difficulties due to drought conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
