Discontinue The Practice Of Appointing Pay Commissions Every 10 Years – AK Mathur

Discontinue the Practice of Appointing Pay Commissions every 10 years – According to Mathur, this could be avoided if a system of annual salary hikes — as in the private sector — is implemented for government staff as well.

The Centre could discontinue the practice of appointing pay commissions every 10 years to suggest salary revisions for its staff, justice AK Mathur, chairman of the Seventh Central Pay Commission (7th CPC), said. Instead, he said, the government could have a mechanism for annual increment in salaries, taking into account all aspects including the consumer prices. While the dearness allowance offsets the impact of retail inflation on the salaries of government employees, the salary increases are now accorded by way of the pay commission-awarded “fitment” factor and annual increment.
