The Kerala government has decided to put off the payment of the second instalment of the pay revision arrears to government employees, citing the present financial crisis.
The second instalment of the arrears should have been credited to the provident fund (PF) accounts of the employees on October 1, 2023, but it has been deferred until further orders, the Finance department said.
Blaming the “severe financial crisis,” the Kerala government had also deferred the payment of the first instalment which was due in March 2023.
