Central government employees and pensioners may receive their September salary or pension on September 25, according to an office memorandum dated September 23 and attributed to the Controller General of Accounts (CGA). The document cites a proposed nationwide bank strike from September 28 to 30 and the possibility of disruption to banking transactions.
The memorandum says the proposed arrangement covers employees and pensioners across central government offices, including Defence, Posts and Telecommunications. It also says September wages for industrial employees may be disbursed early, while banks and Pay and Accounts Offices may release pension payments on September 25.

Early payment would be treated as an advance
Under the memorandum, any salary, wages or pension released before the end of September would be treated as an advance payment. The final amount would be determined after the full month’s entitlement is calculated, with any required adjustment made against October salary or wages.
The document also advises departments to process other payments and banking transactions scheduled near the end of September in advance wherever feasible. It asks ministries and departments to inform their offices and requests the Reserve Bank of India to alert bank branches responsible for making payments.
The proposed strike falls immediately before the September 30 quarter end. Reports say bank unions have called for a three-day stoppage from September 28 to 30, raising concerns about delays in branch-based transactions and payment processing.
Verification note: The attached image is the source for the memorandum’s contents. I could not independently locate this specific September 23 CGA memorandum on an official government website, so the September 25 payment instruction should be confirmed through an official departmental or bank communication before publication as a settled government decision.
