DoP had earlier submitted that 9823 temporary employees are under the State to HC

SO WHY THE CONFUSION TODAY?
GANGTOK, 07 Nov: While the state employee census is underway on the direction of the Central government through the 13th Finance Commission that the state conduct a state employee census to ascertain the exact number of persons on the payroll of the state exchequer the High Court of Sikkim had earlier sought from the government the number of temporary employees working with the government to which the state, it was observed, had no satisfactory answer.

More than 50% of state budget going to Salaries and Deptts don’t know number of their Employees!

FINANCE COMMISSION SEEKS AN EMPLOYEE CENSUS
GANGTOK, 06 Nov: What was long feared but never spoken aloud or even enquired into much has now been given a firm stamp of confirmation by none other than the central government itself in the form of the 13th Finance Commission.
