Hi, I am Sekhar, Chief Associate at SBI. I was arrested and suspended on March 19, 2022, for reasons unknown. I have done nothing wrong. To save other staff/officers, management has suspended me. Now that I have obtained bail on August 10, 2022, as of today, November 12, 2022, I am receiving only 1/3 of my pay as a subsistence allowance. The circular/letter given to me states that 1/2 of my salary will be paid as a subsistence allowance. It has been 8 months now, and I am still only receiving 1/3 of the subsistence allowance. Please advise me.

Steps to Take If Arrested by Your Office
Have you been arrested on a complaint by your office, and is SBI a party to the criminal case? If not done already, you need to inform your office that you are on bail and attach a certified copy of the bail order from the court. If the authorities are unmindful of it, you may file a writ petition challenging the denial of due subsistence allowance and the disciplinary action itself.
