Mumbai: For the first
time, teachers and non-teaching staff of all government-aided
schools in the city received their salary Thursday online through
a nationalised bank, an official said.
The teachers were given special, individual debit cards by the
Union Bank of India (UBI) through which they were able to withdraw
their salaries, said Kapil Patil, the legislator representing
teachers' constituency in the Maharashtra legislative council.
"This has brought immense cheer to over 30,000 teachers in Mumbai
today. Now, it will be implemented in phases across the state,"
Patil told IANS.
Patil said he had been pursuing the matter with the state
government since the past few years to give teachers their
salaries on time. Until now, the salaries were delayed by several
days or weeks, he said.
In July this year, state Primary Education Minister Rajendra Darda
agreed to the demand and an agreement was signed with the
state-run UBI for disbursing teachers' salaries online.
Besides the salaries, all teachers are entitled to benefits like a
free Rs.200,000 insurance cover, loans and other core banking
facilities, Patil said.
