Central government employees are likely to get minimum monthly salary
of Rs. 24,000 when the proposals of the 7th Central Pay Commission (7th
CPC) are implemented. This is more than the Rs. 18,000 recommended by
the Commission, a trade union affiliated to the ruling BJP hinted on
Tuesday, after meeting a minister in the Narendra Modi government.
"The minister said we will consider the proposal of minimum pay of Rs
24,000," Pawan Kumar, Regional Organizing Secretary, Bharatiya Mazdoor
Sangh (BMS), said after meeting Jitendra Prasad, Union Minister of State
for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Zee News reports.
The pay panel had used a multiple of 2.57 to arrive at the minimum monthly salary for various grades, translating into a range from Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 29,200.
Kumar also said that the notification for the implementation of the recommendations of the 7th CPC is expected next month.
"We are expecting the notification for implementation of the 7th Pay
Commission in the last week of June, and payout to begin in July," he
told the channel.
In January this year, two months after the Seventh Pay Commission headed by Justice AK Mathur submitted its report to Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, the Narendra Modi government appointed an empowered committee headed by cabinet secretary P K Sinha to look at the recommendations in an "expeditious, detailed and holistic" manner.
The Commission had suggested an average hike of 23.5 percent in pay
and allowances for about 47 lakh Central government employees and about
52 lakh pensioners.
The Modi government allocated Rs. 70,000 crore in this year's budget
for implementing the proposals, the full year impact of which has been
estimated at about Rs. 1.02 lakh crore in 2016-17.
The less-than-expected hike had irked trade unions.
"We are opposing the report in totality as the real increase is just
16% and not 23.5% as is being proposed," Kumar of BMS had earlier said.

SIR,
ReplyDeleteKindly recollect my comment dated 25.04.2016 and your reply posted on that date regarding the injustices recommended by the 7th CPC at the time of grant of MACP from GP Rs. 2800/- to Rs. 4200/-.
Sir, being a Central Govt. Employee I am very well aware that there were/ are and will be anomalies in Pay Commissions, which can not be denied. Our Staff side/Union is fighting for long pending anomalies even of 5th CPC and those are yet to be resolved. We should not be demoralized fight against all odds, which are against the interest of the Employees.
However, the issue raised by me is crucial one and we should take up the matter with the appropriate forum i.e. Implementation Cell of 7th CPC, so that this can be resolved before resulting in any anomaly.
I do not know whether the issue raised by me is right or wrong. But, reading of the 7th CPC report clearly reflects the same. We should be clarified about the actual fact and try to resolve it without waiting till implementation of 7th CPC and receipt of new CCS Revised Pay Rule.
Sir, I will be very much pleased if you can provide me the e-Mail ID/website/address of the Implementation Cell.
With Regards.
