В Мегхалая запустили программу досрочного получения зарплаты для госслужащих

SHILLONG, Aug 25: The Meghalaya government has launched the Early Salary Advance (ESA) Scheme, which enables regular employees to access a portion of their salary before payday to meet urgent financial requirements. The initiative was formally introduced by Finance Commissioner and Secretary Dr. Vijay Kumar D, in the presence of senior officials from the Finance Department and NIC Meghalaya. According to a statement here, the scheme aligns with Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma’s ‘Vision 2032’, which aims to make Meghalaya a progressive and future-ready state. Officials stated that the welfare measure extends to the entire government machinery, including teachers, healthcare workers and administrative staff. To implement the initiative, the government has empanelled InstaPe as the service provider in partnership with Suryoday Small Finance Bank, which will act as the lending institution. The Directorate of Accounts & Treasuries, on the other hand, will oversee the implementation of the programme. “We are honoured to be empanelled by the Government of Meghalaya for this important initiative. We look forward to delivering our best-in-class services to the employees of the Meghalaya Government and contributing meaningfully towards the broader vision of financial inclusion and financial wellness for all,” Atul Gupta, Founder of InstaPe, said. It may be mentioned that InstaPe is a financial wellness platform that partners with government and private organisations to provide salaried employees with responsible access to credit and financial products.
