The Mizoram government would implement the recommendations of the sixth Pay Commission for the state government employees, the assembly was informed.

In a written reply to a query from C. Ramhluna of the opposition Mizo National Front (MNF), Chief Miniser Lal Thanhawla, who also holds finance portfolio, said implementation would be undertaken after the submission of the report by the Fitment Committee.

The term of the Fitment Committee has been extended till May, he said.

The state government has estimated that there would be an additional expenditure of Rs 283.60 crore under the non-plan and Rs 55.64 crore under the plan fund if the sixth Central Pay Commission recommendation is implemented, he said.

However, the final additional expenditure would be worked out only after the submission of the report of the Fitment Committee.
