AP Outsourcing Employees Salary on Every 1st Day of the Month (GO Ms No 197)

The Finance Department working under the Administration of AP Government has issued a GO stating that "The Government has issued certain instructions to the Controlling Officers, Drawing and Disbursing Officers, Treasury Officers and the Manpower supplying agencies to ensure prompt payment on every first day of month to the Contract / Outsourcing persons"

Remuneration salary for outsourcing employees


This is the big move of the Government on behalf of Outsourcing / Contract persons. In the past, the remuneration bills were submitted to the treasury between  the dates from 5th to 18th. This caused the delay for payment of remuneration to the outsourcing and contract person on every month. Some of the departments were delayed paying the remuneration to the outsourcing persons for 5 months also. If someone raises the questions regarding delaying the payment and the concerned authorities would say some unsatisfied answers. By checkmating all the delays of the remuneration these instructions would be the perfect answer.

The GO MS.no. 197, Finance (HR.I, Plg. & Policy), it: 14.10.2016 describes the following details


Contract and outsourced Personnel - Payment of remuneration to the contract/outsourcing persons - Payment of remuneration on first of the month - Instruction to the Controlling officers, Drawing and Disbursing Officers, Treasury Officers and the Manpower supplying agencies to ensure prompt payment - Relaxation fo treasury control orders - Reg.
