Principals would continue to have lien in their main academic post

Haryana Finance Minister, Capt. Abhimanyu has given approval to revise the pay of teachers and equivalent cadres in universities and colleges following the revision of pay scales of Central Government employees on the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission.

The Minister said that in Under Graduate Colleges, the pay of principals would be equivalent to the pay scale of Associate Professor, that is, Academic Level 13A with rationalized entry pat of Rs 1,31,400 with the existing special allowance of Rs 2,000 per month. Similarly in Post Graduate Colleges, the pay of Principals would be equivalent to the pay scale of Professor, that is, Academic Level 14 with rationalised entry pay of Rs 1,44,200 with the existing special allowance of Rs 3,000 per month.

Principals would continue to have lien in their main academic post where they would continue to get notional promotions while they are functioning as principal. After completion of their tenure as principal, they would go back to their academic post and draw salary due in such respective academic posts and would not continue to have the principals’ pay.
