Odisha Mandates Salary Deductions for Government Employees Defaulting on Alimony

The Odisha government has issued a formal order mandating the deduction of court-ordered maintenance and alimony payments directly from the salaries of defaulting state government employees.

This administrative directive aims to ensure compliance with family court rulings, preventing employees from evading financial responsibilities toward their estranged spouses or dependents.

Affected employees will see these maintenance amounts automatically withheld from their monthly paychecks, effective immediately, to streamline the enforcement of judicial maintenance orders across the state.
