The Hindu
Revised salaries will be effective from June 2021 onwards
The government has decided to implement pay revision for Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) employees, making their pay on a par with that of government employees.
The decision was taken following a discussion between Transport Minister Antony Raju and trade union leaders. The revised salaries, with an increase in basic pay from ₹8,730 to ₹23,000, will be effective from June 2021 onwards and paid from January 2022 onwards.
The fitment allowance of 10% will be retained, while the Dearness Allowance of 137% will be merged with the new salary scale.

“Through several targeted attacks against the minorities in the name of religion, the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations are on a mission to fragment the State into religious segments,” said Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and MP Thol. Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
