A Rs 2,000 salary increase for TASMAC supervisors, salespeople, and assistants was announced in the legislative assembly, effective from April. However, TASMAC employees complained that the government hadn't implemented the raise even after three months.

The TASMAC administration has now announced that the salary increase will be provided retrospectively from April 1st. The Minister for Electricity, Prohibition, and Excise had made the announcement in the legislative assembly.

The 451 employees involved in overcharging will receive a Rs 1,000 increase. The increase will be applied retrospectively from April and disbursed within two days.
