A sharp decline in GDP in FY20 will shrink job creation in India, leading to at least 16 lakh fewer government and low-paying jobs in the financial year. The slow pace of growth will have a direct impact on payroll creation as labour remittances are declining, says an SBI Ecowrap report. As per the EPFO data, India created 89.7 lakh new payrolls in FY19. But this year's numbers could be around 15.8 lakh lower, says the report. "Even in the NPS (National Pension System) category, state and the central government could create close to 39,000 jobs less in FY20. This could result in 16 lakh lesser payrolls in FY20 than in FY19," says the report.

In Tripura also more than recruitment, terminations were made under the BJP Govt. Many employees were terminated even from the contractual posts in the Govt depts.
