Since, Mizoram Government is one of those states that has implemented 7th Pay Commission for its employees, the Office Memorandum has given option to those employees who have opted for General Provident Fund (GPF), to either impound the reimbursement of deferred salary to the GPF account or receive in cash. Failure to exercise the option will result in automatic credit of the amount in the GPF account.

The Office Memorandum further said, "For government employees who opted for cash payment, repayment of the salary so deferred in respect of June 2020 shall be done in the month of August 2020 along with payment of salary for the month of August. Accordingly, repayment of the salary so deferred in respect of July 2020 shall be done in the month of September 2020 along with payment of salary for the month of September."

But, after this Office Memorandum from the Finance Department of the Mizoram Government, all state government employees of Mizoram will get full August 2020 salary, which is about to be credited in a few days.
