7th Pay Commission: Wait for higher allowances gets longer, Central govt to pay bonanza after Budget 2017-187th Pay Commission: Wait for higher allowances gets longer, Central govt to pay bonanza after Budget 2017-18

New Delhi, Jan 2: The suspense over the payment of higher allowances under the 7th Pay Commission ended on Tuesday with Central government saying the higher allowances will be paid after the Budget 2017-18. The ‘Committee on Allowances’ had got extension till February 22, 2017 to give its report on higher allowances, which suggested that the government will pay higher allowances as per the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission after February. The government has decided to advance the date of Budget presentation by a month and present it on February 1. The government plans to complete the entire exercise related to Budget before March 31, after which it will pay the higher allowances under the 7th Pay Commission.

“Government is very pleased to pay the higher allowances to its employees after Budget,” a Finance Ministry official was quoted as saying by the Sen Times. “The acute cash crunch in banks and ATMs that prevailed for a month following the demonetization move of the government has eased from January 1, as the daily withdrawal limit from ATMs has been increased from Rs 2,500 to Rs 4,500. Hence, the Finance Ministry felt it would be wiser to announce of higher allowances after Budget,” the top official added.

The cash crunch post demonetisation drive affected the preparations of the government about payment of higher allowances as per the 7th Pay Commission recommendations. The government wanted to start payment of higher allowances under 7th Pay Commission for its 48 lakh employees and 52 lakh pensioners, but the cash shortage compelled the government to delay it.

The central government employees have been waiting for fatter allowance since July when the government issued the notification for the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations. The 7th Pay Commission had recommended abolition of 51 allowances and subsuming 37 others out of 196 allowances, however central government employees were unhappy with the move.

Until acceptance of higher allowances, under 7th Pay Commission, the allowances are now paid according to the 6th Pay Commission recommendations.

Kinnaur: The first installment of nearly Rs 5,500 crore has been paid for implementing the OROP scheme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said while asserting that he has "fulfilled the promise" he made to ex-servicemen on the issue that has been hanging fire for the last 40 years.

"The OROP money will reach ex-servicemen in four installments. Nearly, Rs 5,500 crore has been paid as the first installment," PM Modi said.

The Prime Minister, while celebrating Diwali with army and ITBP personnel in Sumdo here, over 270 km from state capital Shimla, also lauded the role of the security force personnel guarding and protecting the country.

"Spent time with our courageous @ITBP_official & Army Jawans at Sumdo, Kinnaur district, Himachal Pradesh. Jai Jawan! Jai Hind!," he tweeted.

It was not possible for the government to pay in one go, so I requested the ex-servicemen to accept it in four instalments.

The Prime Minister, on his way to Sumdo, met civilians at Himachal's Chango village, close to the Sino-Indian border.

7th Pay Commission – to be Implemented from October 1 – Army men, veterans not Happy

7th Pay Commission – to be Implemented from October 1 – Sources said that defence minister Manohar Parrikar spoke to the service chiefs following which they decided to heed his advice on implementation of the pay commission.

The 7th pay commission whose provisions are going to be implemented from October 1 after a long wait has not satisfied Army personnel especially veterans who feel that the status of the defence forces “has taken a big dip” especially in comparison to paramilitary forces and bureaucrats.

The 7th pay commission recommendations which were initially rejected by all three chiefs of the tri-services have only been accepted after the ministry of defence (MoD) gave its assurance of sorting out the various anomalies.

Sources said that defence minister Manohar Parrikar spoke to the service chiefs following which they decided to heed his advice on implementation of the pay commission. The 7th pay commission implementation had been halted on September 9 when the three chiefs had written to the MoD about the apparent anomalies.

Among the major anomalies pointed out by the services are non functional upgrade (NFU), NFU pay fixation, military service pay (MSP), and common pay matrix for civilian and military services and allowances. Grant of NFU, a long standing demand of the forces, is for officers who are denied promotions due to the lack of vacancies in the steeply-pyramidal structure of the armed forces so that they do not lose out on pay grades, as their batch mates are promoted.

“IFS and IPS officers, as also those from organized Group A civil services, now get NFU after the 6th pay commission like IAS officers. But the armed forces have been kept out of it,” said a senior serving officer. “This adversely impacts the morale of serving military officers. It also creates command, control and functional problems because even organizations that work closely with the military like DRDO, Border Roads Organisation, Military Engineer Services and the like get NFU,” he added.

Another demand is the placement of all Lt-Generals in the HAG+ (higher administrative grade) pay-scale like directors-general of police. “As of now, only 33% of Lt-Gens are in the HAG+ scale. The status of all Lt-Gens with that of DGPs must be restored,” the officer added.

7th Pay Commission: No scope to change in minimum pay of Rs 18,000

New Delhi: Finance Ministry sources today said on condition of anonymity, there is no scope to change in minimum pay Rs 18,000, recommended by the 7th Pay Commission and approved by the cabinet.

After cabinet nod of 7th Pay Commission recommendations, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said central government employees salaries have to be respectable in comparison to public or private sector.

The sources came up with the remark while talking to us about hiking of minimum pay Rs 18,000 by the pay related National Anomaly Committee more than the the cabinet approval of the minimum pay.

Those who will hope over this issue will gain nothing, there is no scope to change in minimum pay Rs 18,000, which was approved by the cabinet, they added.

Replying to a question, the sources said, “The demand of central government employees through National Joint Council of Action (NJAC) for hiking minimum pay Rs 18,000 to Rs 26,000 may be considered by the National Anomaly Committee but they can do nothing.

They said adding “Though government had promised hiking minimum pay after the central government employees unions had threatened to carry out an indefinite strike but now public sector workers demand minimum pay of Rs. 18,000, similar to the central government employees. They now get minimum pay less than Rs 18,000.”

They also told us, “Public Sector Undertaking (PSU), Coal India Limited (CIL) workers set to join the general strike on September 2 for hiking minimum pay of Rs 18,000 equivalent to central government employees.”

“Now, it is generally seen that Public Sector Undertaking employees get less pay than the central government employees and they will demand to hike pay equivalent to central government employees. So, the focus has now shifted to PSUs- whether they would implement a similar pay hike for their employees or not.”

“If they hike pay for their employees, the central government is likely to face difficulty in bearing this extra financial burden. Accordingly, central government employees demand for hiking minimum pay of Rs 18,000 will not be accepted,” they confirmed.

After cabinet nod of 7th Pay Commission recommendations, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said central government employees salaries have to be respectable in comparison to public or private sector.

7th Pay Commission: DA to be hiked by 2 per cent from July

New Delhi: The government is to approve hiking dearness allowance (DA) to 2 per cent under 7th Pay Commission recommendations, which was accepted by the cabinet with retrospective effect from January 1, 2016.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley

The 7th Pay Commission recommended the merging of 125 percent dearness allowance into the basic pay.

The central government employees also now get 125 per cent dearness allowance from January, 2016 in pre-revised scales.

The 7th Pay commission recommended new pay matrix, based on the Consumer Price Index 261.42, its effective date in January this year, while the 6th Pay commission had recommended the basic pay based on the Consumer Price Index 115.76 in January 2006.

As per practice, the government uses Consumer Price Index- Industrial Workers ( CPI-IW) data of the past 12 months to arrive at a quantum for the purpose of any DA hike.

Thus, the CPI-IW from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016 would be used to take a final call on the matter.

The CPI (IW) of the months July, August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May and June were 263, 264, 266, 269, 270, 269, 269, 267, 268, 271, 275 and 277 respectively.

The average of the consumer price index -industrial workers (CPI-IW) from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016 works out to be 2.90 per cent. Thus the Central government will hike dearness allowance for it employees by 2 per cent as government will not round off the figures for the purpose of calculating dearness allowance.

The proposed hike is in accordance with the accepted formula based on the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission as 7th Pay Commission recommended to go for ditto in this regard.

Accordingly, new Dearness Allowance Calculation formula is given below:-

(12 Monthly Average) – 261.42
———————————X 100 = D A Percentage (ignore decimals)

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said, government had requisite fund to implement 7th Pay Commission award.

The Empowered Committee of Secretaries recommended a 30 per cent increase in the central government employees’ basic pay and minimum basic pay to Rs 21,000 per month and the maximum basic pay Rs 2,70,000.

After Finance Minister's observation on review of 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations, the proposal will be placed before the Cabinet in July for it's nod, they confirmed.

“We don’t think Finance Minister will be able to see it within one month, considering his preoccupation with the other activities. However, the new pay structure will be implemented from August 1,” they added.

The 7th Pay Commission recommended 14.27 per cent increase in basic pay, 23.55% overall increase in salary, allowances and pensions. The increase in allowances was recommended 63% while pension was proposed to rise 24%.

7CPC – Government Employees’ Salary Hikes not before June?

7th Pay Commission – Government Employees’ Salary Hikes not before June? – Though, the matter may become clearer when Finance Ministry announces the details on implementation, and that is expected to happen before Budget 2016-17 in February.

 

New Delhi – Government is likely to accept the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission and offer salary hikes to Central Government Employees not before June  2016

Though, the matter may become clearer when Finance Ministry announces the details on implementation, and that is expected to happen before Budget 2016-17 in February.

 

Then there are Assembly elections expected in Pondicherry, Assam, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Kerala. So the implementation of salary hike is also expected only when the State Assembly elections are over by June/July.

 

Speaking against the pay revision, Gujarat said constant hikes by pay commissions had caused labour market distortions vis-a-vis private sector salaries. Gujarat Government has also added,  pay panel will encourage and force state governments to take route of “contract appointments” which will create two sets of employees.

 

Also, as per reports, seven states – UP, Punjab, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Tripura and Sikkim, have requested the Centre to delay implementation of salary hikes due to the financial burden 7th CPC recommendations are likely to cast on the state exchequer.
