New Delhi, July 23: The newly appointed IAS officer
Rajesh Kumar Chaturvedi who was given an additional charge of chief of
implementation cell of the 7th pay Commission is likely to issue a
notification of salary hike within seven days. Chaturvedi who had
earlier worked as a Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) chief
has been working on the implementations of 7CPC recommendations which
was approved by Narendra Modi government last month.
According to a Finance Ministry official quoted by The Sen Times, the
cell will issue the notification within 7 to 10 days. Which means more
than 47 lakh Central Government employees eagerly waiting for the pay
hike will get their increased salaries under the new pay matrix from
August 1, excluding new allowances.
The implementation cell chief has been appointed by the Union
Government to avoid national level strike threatened by union officials.
The appointment of Chaturvedi came on Thursday, as Department of
Personnel and Training (DoPT) named him as the chief of implementation
cell of 7CPC.
Chaturvedi, who had worked as a CBSE chief earlier is a Madhya
Pradesh cadre IAS officer of 1987 batch, was three months ago given the
additional charge of Joint Secretary in the cell for three months. But
after Ministry’s order, the cell is to be headed by Chaturvedi with the
help of nine other staff.
The Union Cabinet decided to constitute a committee headed by Finance
Secretary for further examination of the recommendations of 7CPC on
allowances including HRA, DA, health insurance, transport allowance and
many other. The Cabinet had accepted some recommendations but with the
many Central Government employees are unhappy as the requested minimum
wage was increased to Rs 18,000 and the demand was made of Rs 26,000.
The Central Government employees had also threatened to call for an
indefinite strike from July 11 which was later called off after Union
Government decided to set up a high-level committee to look into their
demand. More than 47 lakh Central Government employees and 53 lakh
pensioners have been eagerly waiting for implementation of 7CPC.
