After NJCA / Staff Side Associations decided to postpone the
indefinite Strike from 11th July 2016 on the basis of Governments assurance
that high level Committee would be formed to study the possibility of
increasing the Minimum Wage and Fitment Formula recommended by 7th Pay
Commission, it was widely expected that issue of notification for
implementation of 7th Pay Commission may take some more time. It was reported earlier that there is an even
chance for issue of 7th CPC Notification by Govt on the basis of
decision of Cabinet pending submission of reports by Allowances
Committee and minimum wage & Fitment Formula Committee (which is yet
to be formed).
Now, the President of NJCA (the joint body represented by of all Staff
and Unions of Central Government Employees, Railway Employees and
Civilian Defence Employees) and General Secretary of AIRF, Mr. Shiva
Gopal Mishra has reported that salary for the month of July onward will
be based on 7th CPC recommendations approved by the government on
29th June, 2016 with only change that, all the allowances, as admissible
at present, will continue till report of various committees set up for
different purposes are finalized and that Gazette Notification for
implementation of 7th Pay Commission recommendations is expected today
or early next week.
