Teachers of Maharshi Dayanand University in Hisar have served a legal notice to the state government, demanding clarification on the delayed pay fixation process and the blocking of salary increments.
Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU) teachers in Hisar filed a legal notice with the Haryana government on Tuesday, citing a prolonged delay in the pay fixation process and the suspension of salary increments. The notice, addressed to the Chief Secretary, requests an immediate review of the university’s payroll system and a clear timeline for the pending adjustments.
The teachers argue that the delay has caused financial hardship, as many rely on the increments for basic expenses. They also claim that the university’s failure to fix pay grades has left several staff members in a state of uncertainty regarding their future earnings.
So far, the Haryana administration has not issued a formal response to the notice. The university’s officials have stated that the pay fixation is pending approval from the state’s finance department, but have not provided a definitive date for completion.
The issue highlights a broader concern among public‑sector educators in Haryana, where similar delays in pay fixation have been reported across several institutions. The teachers’ legal action is seen as a push for transparency and timely compensation for public servants.
