The Gujarat education department has ordered all schools to reconcile mismatches between the CTS payroll system and UDISE+ school data within two days.
The state education department in Gujarat issued a directive on Thursday instructing every school to address inconsistencies between the Common Teacher Salary (CTS) system and the Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+) database. Schools have been given a strict deadline of 48 hours to correct the mismatched entries and resubmit the data through the official portal.
Officials said the move aims to ensure accurate payroll processing and reliable school‑level statistics, both of which are critical for funding allocations and policy planning. The department warned that failure to comply could result in penalties or delays in salary disbursement for teaching staff.
School administrators are advised to coordinate with their respective block education officers to verify the data and make necessary adjustments. The directive underscores the government's focus on data integrity as part of its broader effort to modernise education administration in the state.
