State government employees will receive their salary and allowances by December 21 in view of the ensuing Christmas celebration.
Similarly, pensioners of the State government will also receive their pension by the same period.
This was informed by Finance Secretary S C Sadhu to all heads of departments today.
The early release of salary and pension before Christmas is a routine practice by the State government to enable the employees and pensioners to meet their expenditures for the festive season.
