New Delhi, Mar 4: After dropping enough hint that Government is all
set to implement the recommendations of Seventh Pay Commission soon,
here is yet another good news for central government employees.
According to Finance Ministry sources, Government won't be making any
changes in the existing advances and facilities, enjoyed by Central
government employees. Pay commission had suggested abolition of many
privileges and facilities including risk allowance, small family
allowance, festival advance and motor cycle advance etc in its
recommendations.
Reportedly, employees associations and Trade Unions were not happy
with the suggestions by the pay commission. They had requested
government to make its stand clear on it.
Reportedly, Finance Ministry
was constantly in touch with PMO over the same. Finally PMO said that it
doesn't want to disappoint government staff.
A Finance Ministry sources was quoted by a news website as saying, "The
PMO has sent its directive and it says that existing privileges cannot
be curtailed. Betterment must be done for central government employees
by protecting the current facilities".
Earlier, Government in its Budget document made the announcement that
pay Commission will be implemented during the financial year 2016-17.
Centre further said the once-in-a-decade pay hike has been built in as
interim allocation for different ministries and budget numbers were
credible.
The voluminous budget documents state that "the implementation of the
Seventh Pay Commission due from January 1, 2016 is to be implemented
during the financial year 2016-17 as also the revised One Rank One
Pension scheme for Defence services." "The government has made
provisions for the additional liabilities on these count," it said,
without giving the amount allocated for implementation.
