SEVENTH PAY COMMISSION REPORT ‘TOTAL RUBBISH’, SAY EMPLOYEES’ LEADERS

New Delhi: Central government employees’ leaders have trashed the Seventh Pay Commission report on pay and allowances hike of central government employees and officers, saying it was ‘total rubbish’ and ‘not worth the paper it was printed on’.

The Seventh Pay Commission report was presented to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in November.

A Trade Union leader said he finds it hard to believe that the 900-page report had failed to find any government employees’ welfare motive behind the issuance of such type of pay hike recommendations, which has given nothing, not even proper minimum pay hike.

By Shalini Jain 

One of the biggest agenda of the current Government is to curb black money menace in India and one of the step forward in this regard is the change made in the requirement of mandatory quoting of Permanent Account Number ('PAN") in designated financial transactions.

MERGE DA WITH BASIC THIS YEAR AND DEFER INCREMENTS: PAY PANEL MEMBER

Member of the Seventh Central Pay Commission Rathin Roy has suggested that to meet its fiscal deficit target the Government should merge the basic pay and dearness allowance (DA) of central government employees in the current year and defer implementing any real increases in pay and pensions. This, the member has said, could be done by compensating those who would have to bear the burden of the deferred effect by giving them a “more generous award distributed over several years”.

“I am saying that the increment need not all be given at one go... It can be staggered and made more generous… So this could be done for pay and for pension,” Dr. Roy told The Hindu in an exclusive interview. “Now I am not competent to say whether this is politically feasible or not,” he, however, added.

Last month, the Union Cabinet set up an empowered committee of secretaries under the Cabinet Secretary for processing the recommendations of the Commission.

New Delhi: Central government employees’ pay bill are unlikely to get increased salary from April under the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations, as the central government might delay the hike by six months to evaluate the actual needs of employees, said finance ministry officials.
