Nitish government has taken a big decision in the interest of teachers of Bihar. Now they will get their salary on time. The date has been fixed for this. Now salary will be received on the first day of every month. The Education Department issued the Standard Operating System (SOP) related to this on Monday (December 08, 2025).
Letter sent to DEO and DPO
The department clarified that the salaries of Sanskrit and Madrasa teachers and night guards, who receive salaries from the state fund, will also be paid on one date only. Director of Primary Education Sahila has sent a letter in this regard to all the District Education Officers (DEOs) and District Program Officers (DPOs).
According to the SOP, for payment of salaries of regular teachers on the old pay scale, the Block Education Officer will submit the absence statements of teachers to the District Education Officer’s office from 20th to 25th of every month. District Program Officer (Establishment) will prepare the salary bill by 25th and submit it to the treasury on 26th. The treasury officer will approve it by 30th and the salary amount will be sent to the teachers’ account on the 1st.
As per the instructions of the Education Department, the same process will be applicable for employed teachers who receive salary from the state treasury. Their salary bills will be prepared by 25th and sent to the treasury on 26th, which will be approved by 30th. The District Education Office will prepare the advisory to be sent to the bank between 26th to 29th, which will be sent to the bank by 30th. The salary amount will reach the teachers’ account on the first date.
Salary payment process will be transparent with the new SOP
Absence returns will be submitted from 20th to 22nd for employed teachers receiving salary from Samagra Shiksha Fund and graduate trained teachers on regular pay scale. ‘Bank advice’ will be prepared between 25th and 28th and sent to the bank by 29th. Salary will be deposited in their account on one date. A similar procedure will be adopted for teachers of minority, madrasa and Sanskrit schools who receive salaries from the state fund. The process of payment of salaries to night guards will also be on similar lines. The Education Department believes that the salary payment process will be more timely and transparent with the new SOP.
