Jan 30, 2025: The Manipur Government has issued a stern notification in response to recent complaints alleging unethical practices within various departments regarding the preparation of salary bills.
Employees have raised concerns over certain staff members demanding or accepting money during this process, violating established laws and ethical standards.
In an effort to address these issues, the Finance Department, through Commissioner-cum-Secretary N. Ashok Kumar, reiterated the prescribed procedures for salary bill preparation.
