MARGAO
The salary bill of the Margao Municipal employees on Thursday got the signature of the outgoing Chief Officer, but employees will have to wait till the weekend or on Monday to receive their salaries.
For, there was a delay in completing the signature process after outgoing Chief Officer, Ajit Panchwadkar refused to put his signature on the salary bill on the plea that the MMC messenger brought to him an incomplete file.
While the MMC had send a staffer to get the signature of Panchwadkar on the salary bill, the outgoing Chief Officer realised that the file brought to him was an incomplete file as his pension and other deductions were left out of the file.
When Panchwadkar insisted that he would sign on the salary bill only if the MMC administration send him a complete file, including the file pertaining to his pension and other deductions, the MMC messenger headed back to the outgoing Chief Officer for the signature with the two files.
However, by the time the MMC messenger returned to the civic body, it was around 3.15 pm on Thursday. The file was later sent to the residence of the Chairperson Pooja Naik for her signature.
Sources said though the MMC has completed the salary disbursement process, the employees will get the salaries only during the weekend or on Monday.
