New
Delhi, There is a good news for Central Government employees that 7th
Central Pay Commission’s report will be implemented with effect from 01.01.2016.
Central Government employees are expecting merger of dearness
allowance, increase in other allowances such as house rent, children
education allowances etc. with the implementation of this report.
With
the beginning of 2016, pay scales proposed by 7th pay commission will
be implemented. Our reports suggests that expected pay structure would
be similar that we have produced. If this happens then there would be
three times jump in the salaries of central government employees.7th pay commission has reiterated that ratio between the minimum and maximum pay scales proposed by 6th pay commission was 1:12.
It has also reiterated that there are lots of anomalies left, after the
implementation of 6th pay commission and those anomalies will certainly
be taken care of. It is expected that ratio between the minimum and
maximum pay would be 1:13. This will certainly be anoying factor for employees unions.
Employees unions are studying estimated pay scales and would certainly be registering its suggestions soon.Till
date central government has notified six pay commissions before
notifying seventh in February 2014. First central pay commission was
notified in 1946, second CPC in 11957, Third CPC in 1970, Fourth CPC in
1983, Fifth in 1994 and sixth in 2006.Report of sixth pay commissoin was implemented w.e.f. 01.01.2016. Sixth pay commission had proposed many newthing such as children education allowance and transport allowance.
It
further prposed increase in all allowances by 25% with the increase in
dearness allowance to 50% to counter rising inflation. It had also
proposed two year child care leave for women employees. These measures
were widely welcomed by central government employees. These measures
were widely welcomed by central government employees. 6th pay commission
had also proposed to modify assured career progression scheme and
introduced Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACP).Now
central government employees are expecting modification in allowances
and schemes. Employees are expecting increase in house rent, children
education allowance, transport allowance and other allowances. Employees
are also expecting that currency of Modified Assured Career Progression
Scheme will be reduced to five years from 10 years. Employees unions
are demanding upgradation in grade pay after five years, if the employee
doeno’t get the benefit promotion in five years time.
Central
government employees are also expecting that 7th pay commission would
recommend permanent solution to merger of dearness allowance with basci
pay if it crosses 100% mark.Employees
are also expecting increase in annual increment from 3% to 5%. One bone
of contention for central government employees is Grade pay Rs. 5400.
This grade pay falls both in PB-2 and PB-3. Employees are expecting
increase in grade pay Rs.5400 which falls in PB-3 so that on promotion
employees get increase in grade pay along with increase in increment @5%
(current increment is 3%).City
compensatory allowance was stopped by 6th pay commission. Employees’
unions wants that city compensatory allowance be restored according to
the class of cities.
Expectations
are very high let’s see how much 7th pay commission fulfills those. But
it is certain that 7th pay commission will bring cheers to around 80
lakhs central government employees and pensioners.
