Big news for Class IV employees in the Bihar elections! Now, they'll get this much money, not 200.

There's news of significant relief for Class IV employees in the Bihar elections. Employees in this category will now receive more pay for their duties.

Preparations for the upcoming assembly elections in Bihar are in full swing. This time, there's good news not only for voters but also for employees engaged in election duty. The government has made a decision, especially for Class IV employees, that will bring a smile to their faces.

Until now, Class IV employees engaged in election duty received an allowance of 200 rupees per day, but this time, their hard work has been truly valued. The state government has announced that these employees will now receive 350 rupees per day or a lump sum of 1400 rupees. This means they will now receive almost double their previous pay.

Who are Class IV employees?

Class IV employees are those who perform various essential tasks during elections—such as maintaining order at polling stations, delivering materials, handling documents, and ensuring the smooth conduct of the voting process. These employees may work behind the scenes, but their role is crucial in ensuring the success of the election.

Their Important Role in Election Duty

Along with administrative and security personnel, Class IV employees are the ones who handle all the groundwork during elections. They are present at polling stations from morning until late at night to ensure the smooth completion of every process. From maintaining the EVMs to cleaning polling stations and assisting voters, these employees are responsible at every step.

What did the Election Commission say?

The Commission stated that this change is an important step towards ensuring fair compensation for the employees deployed on election duty. The Commission's objective is to ensure that employees who work diligently during the election process receive the appropriate reward for their hard work. This decision will boost the morale of employees and encourage them to perform their duties with greater dedication.
