7th Pay Commission Latest News – CG Employees Have to Wait a Little Longer – Cabinet Secretary assured that fair consideration
will be given to all points brought out by JCM before
taking a final view. 7th Pay Commission Latest News – CG employees have
to wait a little longer for the 7th pay Commission bonanza announced in
November last year, as the Empowered Committee of Secretaries (E-CoS)
headed by Cabinet Secretary PK Sinha wants to address various concerns
raised by the Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM) before taking a final
call on the recommendations of the commission. The empowered committee
with 12 secretaries on board was set up on January 27 to process the
recommendations of the Seventh Central Pay Commission.
In a recent meeting attended by Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi, Defence
Secretary G Mohan Kumar with Cabinet Secretary and others, JCM
representatives raised the concerns over pay commission recommendations
on minimum pay and allowances saying it will cause difficulty to the
employees.
It is learnt that the Cabinet Secretary also asked the E-CoS members to
hold interactions with their staff associations and other stakeholders
to expedite the process.
“Cabinet Secretary assured that fair consideration will be given to all
points brought out by JCM before taking a final view. He also said that
E-CoS needs to examine the report of the commission in entirety as well
as the issues raised by JCM in consultation with all other stakeholders.
It may take some time to take some time to take a final call on the
recommendations of the commission,” a government note said.
The empowered committee was told by staff representatives that the
minimum pay of Rs.18,000 pm recommended by the pay commission was on the
lower side and needed to be revised upward by taking into account
inflation and appropriately considering social obligations and housing
of the staff.
A major concern has been raised with Cabinet Secretary on the NPS saying
that it should be done away with. The staff associations have argued
that employees governed by the NPS are deprived of family pension and do
not have the provision of PF.
