4 times increase in pay expected in 7th Pay Commission: News by Tapas Joshi

New Delhi: Tapas Joshi
2016 is a year expected to bring unbound happiness to the Central Government Employees. This year will end a long wait of 10 years, because the recommendations of the Pay Commission will be implemented in January 2016.
The Pay commission was established during the Manmohan Singh Government in February 2014. The deadline for the Pay commission was set to be 15 months. This leads to an expectation for the release of the Pay Commission report by September 2015. If the Memorandum submitted by the Various Employee Organisations is considered, the Pay Commission should provision recommendation for a four-fold increase in the current pay. During its tenure, the Pay Commission will travel to various cities, in addition to meeting the staff of various Employee Organisations. Here it is essential to note that during the sixth pay commission it was recommended to increase the pay of the Central Government Employees three-fold of their current pay.
Primary considerations in Pay Judgement:
The Pay of the Central Government Employees are compared with the Public sector employees such as BHEL, ONGC, etc and also with the Private sector employees. The minimum pay scale of the International Labor Union (ILO) is also considered as a norm. Further, the price of the various daily utility objects is taken into consideration. In the sixth pay commission the Inflation rate as on 01.01.2006 was also considered before putting up recommendations for the fresh Pay scales.
Things to be kept in mind by the Pay commission:
If we talk about the sixth pay commission the ratio of the minimum and maximum Pay was worked around as 1:12 and the minimum pay was decided to be Rs 7100. If in Rs 7100 we include House Rent Allowance, Transport Allowance, Education Allowance etc the figure increases up to Rs 10000.
This time the Dearness Allowance has crossed the figure of 100 percent, and according the Indian Labor Ministry the minimum pay should be Rs 15000 per month. If the inflation and minimum pay are considered, on today’s date the minimum pay should be increased from Rs 7100 to Rs 30000. If in this we include House RentAllowance, Transport Allowance, Education Allowance etc the figure increases up to Rs 45000.
Thus the Pay of the Central Government Employees is expected to have a four-fold rise. The Central Government Employees are impatiently waiting for 2016, and we are also waiting to see how much do the Pay Commission stand up to the Expectations of the Central Government Employees.

Need for submission of 7CPC Report in time to avoid payment of arrears
7th Pay Commission faces many of challenges, Hon'ble Mr. Arun Jaitly is the ray of hope of the central government employees.
As 7CPC is likely to be given effect from January 2016, Finance Minister has an important role to play in its implementation.
THIS CONTENT HAS BEEN PREPARED BASED ON AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED IN A HINDI DAILY SCREENSHOT OF WHICH IS GIVEN BELOW
We all know 7CPC is already on the job of reviewing Pay, allowances and service conditions of Central Government Employees. Needless to say CG Employees are very curious as to what is in store for them. 7th Pay commission was constituted in Feb 2014, and was provided with 15 months period to give its report which ends in September 2015.
Most of the previous pay commissions constituted by the government have submitted their report only after three years. 6th pay commission was delayed due to some technical snag but still the report was submitted within two years and the government too accepted it in full and implemented the same immediately.
6th pay commission is known as the best until now because it changed the Pay Band and Grade Pay of all the classes of Employees and it got wide applause among the employees. Of course it was contended by few to the effect that 6th CPC consisted of some flaws but it is a fact to be accepted, people who were against the 6th pay commission in the beginning started liking it later.
6th pay commission brought large scale changes in the Pay Scale, because of which the administration faced certain difficulties in the implementation. It is also a fact that on account of implementation of 6th CPC, difference in Pay between the Junior and senior employees of same cadre got minimised. Junior Employees who were happy with the 6th pay commission in the beginning started to complain later that their promotional prospects were curtailed.
In fact, Anomalies attributed to 6CPC were not new. Recommendations of Previous pay commissions too had created such anomalies. So, enhancing the salary of employees without any anomalies would one of the many challenges of 7th pay commission
It is widely believed that 6th pay commission, has done all the spade work for the future pay commissions. Definitely it has made the 7th pay commission’s work lot easier. So, Principles of the 6th CPC can be adopted as such by 7th pay commission. Even if the recommendations of 7CPC does not make any sea change but provides a reasonable revision of pay and allowances taking in to account the inflation and other service conditions of government emoloyees, it would be termed as a good report.
The most Bigger challenge that 7CPC faces now is to present its report in time.
When we talk about the pay commission, we cannot avoid talking about the Mr.Modi’s Government. Finance minister Mr. Jetly has definitely won the hearts of many by increasing the Income Tax Exemption Slab. Further, he went on to say : if I had more, I would have given more” which projects him as a well wisher of the Salaried Employees.
It is expected that 7th Pay Commission would submit its report by the end of this year. We have also reports from reliable sources that the Government will not delay in implementing the same because the Government doesn’t want to burden itself by accumulating the arrears of pay and Pension. This aspect was clearly pointed out by the Finance Minister recently.
It seems, this would be the first pay commission in the history of India to implemented in time without involving any arrears of Pay and Pension. If everything goes on as expected, it would not be wrong to say Good days are ahead for Central Government Employees from 2016.
Central govt employees may be spared from filing property returns twice
New Delhi: Central government employees may be exempted from filing details of their assets and liabilities twice -- as mandated under Lokpal Act and other service rules governing them -- as the Centre has suggested a way out.
As per the Lokpal Act, every public servant shall file the returns of his assets and liabilities, including that of his spouse and dependent family members. These returns are in addition to the similar ones filed by the employees under various services rules.
"The requirement of filing returns regarding assets and liabilities under the Lokpal Act is in addition to, and not in derogation or suppression of the requirement of filing of property returns under the existing conduct rules.
"In view of this, the requirement of filing of property returns under the existing conduct rules is an independent requirement under the applicable rules and the same can be dispensed with, only by amending those rules," the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said.
In other words, the requirement of filing returns of assets and liabilities under the applicable conduct rules has to continue, till such time as the provisions of those rules are harmonised with the relevant provisions of the Lokpal Act and the rules framed thereunder by carrying out appropriate amendments in them, it said in an order issued yesterday.
All ministries, departments and cadre controlling authorities have been asked to ensure that necessary follow-up action for harmonising the provisions of the relevant service rules is completed before 15 July, the DoPT said.
The Centre had in an order issued last month revised the time limit of bringing in changes to the the relevant service rules to 18 months from the date of Lokpal Act coming into force, i.e 16 January 2014.
Till, the rules are not harmonised, all public servants have been asked to file their annual property returns as per the existing service rules and Lokpal Act.
The last date for filing the assets details under the Lokpal Act is till April this year.
As per the Lokpal Act, every public servant shall file the returns of his assets and liabilities, including that of his spouse and dependent family members, on 31 March every year on or before 31 July of that year.
For the current year, the last date for filing these returns was 15 September, which was later extended to December-end and now till 30 April 2015.
All Group A, B, and C employees are supposed to file a declaration under the new rules. There are about 26,29, 913 employees in these three categories, as per the government's latest data.
