There will be same response after the Report of 7th pay commission submitted to Finance Minister

Today the 7th pay commission going to submit its recommendations to Finance Minister Shri.Arun Jaitly.at 19.30 PM

Our waiting for knowing the 7th pay commission recommendation on pay and allowances will come to an end this evening. After that we will be hearing mixed responses from various quarters. If it gives satisfaction to one side and the same will be disappointment to other side.

When sixth pay commission submitted its report to the then Finance minister Mr.P.Chidambaram, many trade unions were not satisfied over the recommendation of sixth pay commission.

After presenting the report to Finance Minister P. Chidambaram, Mr. Justice Srikrishna said: “I have recommended something which is good for the nation … the average hike will be 40 per cent.”

The Hindu daily , dated 25-3-2008, has published various reports about the sixth pay commission recommendation. It described recommendation with a title “Bonanza for Central government staff”

♦ Commission recommends 40% hike in salary

NEW DELHI: In a major post-Holi bonanza, the Sixth Pay Commission on Monday recommended an average 40 per cent increase in the salary of over 40 lakh Central government employees and a doubling of most of their allowances that would impose a burden of Rs. 12,561 crore on the exchequer in 2008-09.


Resentment among CG employees Federation over recommendation of sixth pay commission also were reported in Hindu dated 25-3-2008

♦ The Centre of Indian Trade Unions has described the Pay Commission recommendations as “arbitrary, discriminatory and disappointing.”

♦ In a statement issued here on Monday, CITU president M. K. Pandhe said that against the demand of Rs. 10,000 as the minimum wage computed on the basis of the 15th Indian Labour Conference recommendations, the Commission has recommended only a paltry Rs. 5,740, while the maximum has been fixed at Rs. 90,000.

♦ The Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers has described the Sixth Pay Commission’s recommendations as “totally unacceptable” and decided to stage a protest here on Wednesday to “fight for a decent wage settlement.”

♦ In a statement issued here on Tuesday, the Confederation drew attention to the recommendations that were made by them but rejected by the Commission, including fixing the minimum wage at Rs 10,000 a month. The minimum wage recommended in the report was even less than what was suggested in the previous Pay Commission, the statement said.

♦ South Central Railway Mazdoor Union secretary C. Ramakrishnama Charyulu on Monday said that the Sixth Pay Commission’s recommendations had disappointed all the Central Government employees. He said the pay hike recommended by the commission was nothing but pittance.

After submission of the 7th pay commission report we may hear same words but through others voice. Because the leaders might have been changed but voice will be the same . But as we said earlier the recommendation to be submitted today is not final verdict since it is subject to change. Because before 7th cpc report goes to cabinet approval it has to cross various hurdles.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to receive 6th Pay Commission report in December

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to receive Sixth Pay Commission report in December

New Delhi : The Seventh Pay Commission headed by Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur is likely to submit its report to Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in December, presumably recommending a 40 per cent hike in salary for the central government employees.

Justice Mathur already told PTI on August 25, “The Commission may submit its report by the end of September.”

“We are likely to recommend something for the good of central government employees, after observation of inflation, the government’s financial position and salary structure of government employees in other countries. The Finance Minister will give the latest highlights,” a top official of the pay panel said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

He also said it has been mandated to recommend incentive schemes to reward excellence in productivity, performance and integrity, which it will do.

“Though previous Pay Commissions have talked about linking pay with productivity, the earlier governments have not accepted such recommendations. Since this government has shown strong political will, we hope they will accept our recommendations,” he added.

Over 5 million central government employees are expecting a bounty from the report which is likely to recommend major changes in salaries and terms of employment, including performance-linked pay and incentives.

“A joint secretary gets now Rs 128,000 as monthly salary with dearness allowance. I do not expect it to go up to more than Rs 160,000,” a joint secretary-level official of the Central Government said.

In his pre-budget speech in February, Jaitley said,“the Seventh Pay Commission impact may have to be absorbed in financial year 2016-17.”

The salary outgo of central government employees will increase in financial year 2016-17 at 15.79 per cent to Rs 1.16 lakh crore with the likely implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission award, said the statement tabled by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in Parliament on August 12.

The Seventh Pay Commission, which was set up by the UPA government, was required to submit its report by August-end. The government constitutes the Pay Commission almost every 10 years to revise the pay scale of its employees and often these are adopted by states after some modifications.

The Commission has already completed discussions with various stakeholders, including organisations, federations, groups representing civil employees as well as Defence services and is in the process of finalising its recommendations.

The recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission are scheduled to come into effect from January 1, 2016.

The Sixth Pay Commission was implemented with effect from January 1, 2006, the fifth from January 1, 1996 and the fourth from January 1, 1986.
