Revenue Department denies blanket exemption for women teachers
Change
The Revenue Department refused a blanket exemption for women teachers aged above 50 from Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and National Census-2027 duties in the state.
Why it matters
The state Revenue Department declined a proposal for a statewide exemption for women teachers aged above 50 from SIR and National Census-2027 duties. District Deputy Commissioners and Municipal Commissioners retain discretion to grant exemptions locally depending on resource availability. Exemptions that would impede the conduct of SIR or the census are to be refused. Local authorities were instructed to submit any exemption decisions to the state government for information.
Implications
- · Women teachers aged above 50 remain eligible for assignment to SIR and National Census-2027 duties unless local authorities grant exemptions.
- · District and municipal administrations must evaluate local resource availability before approving exemptions.
- · Local authorities are required to document and submit exemption decisions to the state government for information.
Who is affected
- · Women government school teachers aged above 50
- · District Deputy Commissioners
- · Municipal Commissioners
- · Local education administrators
