Latest Updated On 04/09/2025: There has been an oddity in the payment of honorarium (salary) to the assistant teachers (para teachers) of Jharkhand. Para teachers have been paid an additional honorarium amount over and above the prescribed honorarium. The state govt has sought a report from all the districts.
Districts have to send the report till 7 September
Shashi Ranjan, State Project Director of Jharkhand Education Project Council, has directed all District Education Officers and District Education Superintendents to submit a detailed report till 7 September. After the report, the government can also take action to recover the amount. JEPC SPD Shashi Ranjan has clarified in the letter that the additional honorarium amount has been paid by the districts due to TET anomaly of assistant teachers (erstwhile para teachers). Now the honorarium will be paid afresh after removing the TET anomaly. Due to the anomaly, para teachers from class 1 to 5 in the districts were getting an honorarium of Rs 20,112 and those from class 6 to 8 were getting an honorarium of Rs 21,788.

Based on the discrepancy, the para teachers of classes 1st to 5th have been paid an additional amount of Rs 1296 per month and the para teachers of classes 6th to 8th have been paid an additional amount of Rs 1404. The districts have been asked to calculate the amount of the additional honorarium paid and provide the report till 7 September.
