Government likely to give its nod to Seventh Pay Commission recommendations tomorrow

According to information, the central cabinet is very likely to give its approval to the recommendations made by the Seventh Pay Commission, during its meeting to be held on June 29.

Finally, after a long wait, there will be some official developments in the much-delayed issue of pay revisions for Central Government employees.

For the past few weeks, there were multiple reports and speculations about the pay revisions. This has also created massive confusion among the employees. With the Seventh Pay Commission recommending a minimum basic pay of Rs.18,000, unconfirmed reports claim that it could be as high as Rs.20,000, 21,000, 23,500, or even Rs.24,000.

Also rampant are false reports on the Fitment Factor calculation methods that are used for revising the salaries. To put an end to this never-ending series of rumours and speculations, official news is expected tomorrow on the developments regarding the Seventh Pay Commission.

It has to be mentioned that a high-level committee, created under the leadership of PK Sinha, has submitted its report to the central government. The Ministry of Finance will choose its course of action based on the recommendations of the report.

All the central government workers union, under the common name of NJCA, have announced nationwide indefinite strike from 11.07.2016 onwards. Also part of this association are the Railway workers’ unions.

Here are some of the announcements that created great expectations among the Central Government employees –

The Seventh Pay Commission was constituted in order to revise the salaries and pensions to the Central Government employees and pensioners. After 21 months, the commission submitted its detailed report in November. With intense opposition from all quarters, including pensioners, the Centre constituted a high-level committee led by PK Sinha, to look into the recommendations.

The committee has submitted its report to the Government. After incorporating the recommendations and suggestions made by the committee, the Ministry of Finance is all set to obtain the approval of the cabinet tomorrow, June 29, 2016. A meeting of the cabinet will be called for tomorrow.

The Central Government employees have been more than curious to know about the recommendations suggested by the PK Sinha committee. Speculations continue on issues like minimum wages and Fitment Factor, confusing the employees more and more. The last such speculation fixed the minimum wages at Rs.23,000. Reports in a leading English newspaper, that the Fitment Factor is not likely to be 2.7, have only added to the confusion.
