Govt denies talk of salary cut for central employees

The Central government today denied talks of any plan to cut salaries of its employees amid the ongoing crisis.

The denial by FinMin came following reports by a channel that such a move was being planned.

"There is no proposal under consideration of Govt for any cut whatsoever in the existing salary of any category of central government employees. The reports in some section of media are false and have no basis whatsoever," said a tweet from the ministry.



Union Minister Jitendra Singh also termed it fake news and asked people to ignore it.


"There is no proposal by the Government to carry out deduction in the salary of its employees," he said.
