Rajasthan Govt Orders Re-Verification of Employee Pay Fixation: Joint Teams to Probe ACP, MACP, and Salary Increments

राजस्थान सरकार के वित्त (नियम) विभाग द्वारा जारी नए परिपत्र (Circular) के अनुसार, राज्य के सभी सेवारत सरकारी कर्मचारियों के समय-समय पर किए गए वेतन निर्धारण (Pay Fixation) की पुनः गहनता से जाँच करने के आदेश दिए गए हैं। इस आदेश के तहत प्रत्येक विभाग में एक संयुक्त जाँच दल गठित किया जाएगा जो ACP, MACP, पुनरीक्षित वेतनमान और पदोन्नति (Promotion) में हुए वेतन निर्धारण की 21-पॉइंट चेकलिस्ट के आधार पर दोबारा जाँच करेगा। यदि किसी कर्मचारी का वेतन नियम विरुद्ध या गलत पाया जाता है, तो उसे कारण बताओ नोटिस (Show Cause Notice) जारी कर अधिक भुगतान की राशि की वसूली (Recovery) की जाएगी। सभी आहरण एवं वितरण अधिकारियों (DDO) को माह सितम्बर, 2026 के वेतन बिलों में इस वेतन निर्धारण सत्यापन का प्रमाण पत्र आवश्यक रूप से अंकित करना होगा।

The Finance Department (Rules Section) of the Government of Rajasthan has issued a crucial circular (No. F.9(14)FD/Rules/2005 Part) dated July 6, 2026. Directed by Shivangi Swarnkar, Special Secretary, Finance (Budget), this executive order mandates an immediate, rigorous re-verification of all historical salary and pay fixations for serving state employees.

This directive comes as a direct continuation of the department’s earlier circular dated May 5, 2026. It establishes strict guidelines, timelines, and accountability rules to detect incorrect pay structures, eliminate irregular financial payouts, and initiate recoveries from affected personnel.

Key Operational Directives Issued in the Circular

To ensure a flawless audit of public service pay records, the Finance Department has instructed all heads of departments, office in-charges, and treasury officers to execute the following measures:

• Establishment of Joint Inspection Teams: A specialized Joint Inspection Team must be formed at every office and departmental level. This committee will comprise the Head of the Office (HoO), the senior-most accounts personnel, and the establishment officer-in-charge.
• Mandatory Checklist Completion: The establishment wing must prepare a highly detailed 21-point structural profile for every individual employee using the officially prescribed checklist.
• Issue of Show-Cause Notices & Recovery: If any discrepancies, irregular benefits, or errors are identified during the audit, immediate corrections must be implemented. The department must issue a formal Show-Cause Notice to give the employee a fair hearing before initiating standard recovery actions for any excess salary paid.
• September 2026 Salary Linkage: Upon completing the audit, the joint inspection team must sign a unified verification certificate. This verification certificate must be officially recorded and marked on all state employee September 2026 salary bills without exception.

Strict Joint Accountability Rules Established

The Rajasthan Government has introduced strict accountability mechanisms to prevent lenient auditing. If an irregular or illegal salary fixation is discovered in the future after the joint committee has signed off on the verification certificate, the members of the checking squad will be held jointly responsible. The government will recover the excess financial loss directly from those responsible and initiate formal disciplinary actions under state service rules.
