Understanding Allowances in Consolidated Pay: How Should They Be Treated in State Govt Jobs?

Hi Team,

I work at a State Government University in Andhra Pradesh. My office lacks any formal rules and regulations for the staff, with 98% of employees being on contract and ad hoc basis. Upon joining, I was appointed on a consolidated pay on an ad hoc basis for Rs. 15,000 per month. After three years, some additional allowances were included in the pay.

Question on Allowances and Consolidated Pay

My question is, should these allowances also be considered part of the consolidated pay? Will they be added if there are any increments in the allowances, or will only the initial appointment pay be regarded as consolidated, with allowances shown separately?

Thank you.

Can be both. This is a decision that needs to be made by the management. Check with other employees or HR to see how the traditional process has been handled.
