The Directorate of Education (DoE) has asked all the private schools that they should pay the salary of the teachers by the 7th of every month. The order came in after following a complain from a teacher. The order to pay the fee on time is sent to Guru Harkrishan Public School, Punjabi Bagh after a teacher sent a written complaint to DoE about “inordinate delay in salary disbursement since March 2017”.
It is stated under the Rule 192 of the Delhi School Education Act Rules, 1973 that private and unaided schools are required to pay the salaries of the teachers by the seventh day of each month.
The department also initiated an inquiry into the complaint sent by the teacher. The school management, denying any delays in the salary disbursement, replied salaries are being disbursed through centralized account w.e.f. April 1, 2016, and there are no delay. However; DoE found the reply to be insufficient and said that appropriate action will be taken against the school if it fails to comply with orders.
