Panjab University teachers likely to receive January salaries as per revised scale

Panjab University (PU) is likely to disburse the teacher's January salaries (paid in February) as per the revised University Grants Commission (UGC) pay scales as per the 7th Pay Commission set to end.

In December, the varsity had asked "the staff to give an undertaking for exercising the option after the Punjab government notification for implementation of revised UGC scales was adopted by the syndicate in November last year. Now, the pay fixation process is nearly over for the university teachers."
