The Government of India has notified the final recommendations of the R. K. Manisana Wage Boards for journalists and non journalists under the provisions of the Working Journalist Act. These pages feature the notification with tables and schedules. Note that the tables on rates of wages of journalists show the scales proposed by the Board. The increment rates have been altered by the Government under the notification. See notification dt. Dec. 15, 2000. The original draft proposals as well as the Tentative Proposals notified by the Government are available in the CRJ Archives. The scales in the final recommendations are lower than those in the draft and tentative proposals. The norms for fixation of the initial wages too stand altered (For example, an increment would be added only for four years of service instead of three). The proposal for Education Allowance has been
dropped. Leave Travel allowance and Medical Allowance to employees
of Class VI and below have been replaced with a provision for an
insurance cover. City Compensatory Allowance will not be based on salary
range as originally proposed-- it will now be uniform for all staff. Rates
of night shift allowance as well as medical allowance proposed have
been reduced. Rates of House Rent Allowance have been reduced for lower
classes of newspapers.
