The Bihar Education Department has intensified actions to recover excess salary payments, retrieving ₹93 million from teachers in Kaimur and stepping up recoveries in the Bhagalpur‑Banka region.
The state’s Education Department has launched a focused drive to claw back unauthorized salary disbursements made to government teachers and staff. Recent audits revealed that excess payments had been credited to several accounts across Bihar.
In the Kaimur district, officials succeeded in recovering a total of ₹93 million from teachers who had received duplicate salaries. The amount was retrieved after detailed verification of payroll records and direct notices to the beneficiaries.
Parallel efforts are under way in the neighboring districts of Bhagalpur and Banka, where the department has accelerated its recovery process. Authorities have issued notices to affected employees and are employing legal mechanisms to ensure prompt restitution.
Department officials indicated that the audit will continue across all districts until the anomaly is fully rectified, emphasizing the need for fiscal discipline in public education funding.
