Sub: Disbursement of Salary/ Pension to Central Government employees/ Pensioner working in the State of Kerala before 29th August 2023 on account of “ONAM” Festival.

Respected Sir,

I would like to submit the following for your kind Consideration and early favourable order’s.

The most important festival of Kerala *’Onam’* is on 29-8-2023* The entire Keralites participate in the festivities irrespective of their caste, creed or religion. Kerelites living across India and various parts of the globe usually visit their ancestral homes during Onam. The culture of Kerala is that majority of the people make their precious purchase of household articles and other items during this occassion. This season witnesses the highest economic activity.

As ‘Onam’ falls in the last week of August, employees and pensioners would be left with hardly any money to celebrate the festival after spending money for the usual household expenses. The usual practice is that if the festival falls in the middle of the month or later, salary and pension for the month are disbursed in advance.

Therefore, the Confederation requests that salary and pension relating personnel residing in Kerala for the month of *August 2023* may please be disbursed at the earliest in view of Onam Celebration.

Yours Sincerely

(S.B. Yadav)
Secretary Genera
