Srinagar, June 19, KNT: Employees of the Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) have alleged that salaries for May 2026 have not been released due to delays in processing payments through the newly implemented PAYSYS system, prompting them to seek urgent intervention from the Finance Department.
In a representation addressed to the Principal Secretary, Finance Department, the employees claimed that despite government directions requiring all Drawing and Disbursing Officers (DDOs) to process salaries through the PAYSYS platform, the necessary formalities were not completed within the stipulated timeframe, resulting in non-release of salaries for a large number of employees.
The aggrieved employees said the delay has created considerable hardship for staff and their families, affecting their ability to meet household expenses, educational costs, loan repayments, medical bills and other financial obligations.
Describing the situation as an untenable predicament, the employees maintained that they should not be made to suffer due to administrative delays beyond their control.
The employees have urged the Finance Department to ensure immediate release of the pending salaries, direct the concerned officials to complete all PAYSYS-related formalities without further delay and fix responsibility for the alleged negligence in processing salary bills.
They also sought appropriate administrative action against officials found responsible for the delay, alleging that repeated lapses in discharging official duties have adversely impacted employees.
The employees expressed hope that the matter would be treated on priority and resolved at the earliest in the interest of the affected workforce. [KNT]
