Assam Re-Engages Retired Finance Officers To Strengthen District Finances

GUWAHATI: The Assam government has initiated a significant step to bolster financial administration across the state by re-engaging several retired Assam Finance Service officers.

These individuals, with their vast experience, have been appointed as Finance & Accounts Officers (F&AO) for a duration of 18 months in various districts, including Xama.

An official order released by the government details the specific postings of these re-engaged officers. Dhiraj Das has been assigned to Dispur, Sanjib Kumar Kalita will serve in Bokakhat, and Tabzul Hussain will be stationed in Jalukbari. Haralal Chanda is designated for Ram Krishna Nagar, while Bhaskar Sarma will take charge in Dimoria.

Partha Sarathi Das is posted in Patharkandi, Biraj Kumar Pathak in Rangia, and Dhirendra Nath Kalita will manage Abhayapur. Harendra Nath Chetia is assigned to Titabor, Hari Ram Das to Jagiroad with an additional charge of Laharighat, and Pareshjit Das will serve in New Guwahati.

Within one week after the order's issuance, the designated officers are mandated to assume their responsibilities. Furthermore, they are subject to transfers as per administrative necessities. Their pay will be determined by deducting their pension from their last drawn salary, supplemented by a permissible House Rent Allowance (HRA) and a monthly mobility allowance of Rs. 2,000.

This initiative, approved by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, is in line with previous government's directives aimed at maintaining robust financial management at the district level.
