LDC-UDC ISSUE - GOVERNMENT STAND REITERATED
On the issue of LDC/UDC 7th Pay Commission reiterated the deceiving stand of the Government. Despite of realizing the issue as genuine, Government had not taken a positive decision at their level. The tens of thousands of LDC & UDC, solely responsible for the smooth running of many of the subordinate offices, were hoping that 7th Pay Commission will study the problem faced by them and take a positive decision. Staff Side JCM having convinced the importance of the issue, had also recommended merger & upgradation of the Grade Pay of LDC & UDC to Rs. 2800. But here we see that 7th Pay Commission has not taken any decision on the issue except giving some confusing and misleading statements to vindicate the stand taken by the Government as true.
Extracts of some of their views on LDC UDC issue spread over various chapters of the reports is given below:
Higher GP 2400 to LDC and consequent upgradation of pay for other civilian posts in the Ministerial hierarchy.
