7th PAY COMMISSION
7th Pay Commission – Expectations and Suggestions
We are all aware about the announcement on forming of 7th Pay Commission during the last week. It is our moral responsibility to convey our gratitude to the Central Government and the Unions which were continuously giving voice to this effect. The main reasons for the announcement regarding the forming of 7th Pay Commission as stated are:
The first reason as considered is being the oncoming election in order to take the efforts to obtain the votes. The second reason is to form pay commission every time and by way of allotment of sizable amount for the sake of the same, the problems like inflation are bound to happen in the country. For that, by way of forming of Pay Commission earlier, as stated by the Government, huge amount are being allotted for the sake of the same in order to avoid the impact at the later stage caused owing to that.
After forming of the 7th Pay Commission, lots of expectations have been created in the minds of Central Government Staff. When this Committee will be formed? Who are all the people deputed in this Committee? What will be the tentative date of submission of the report by them to the Government? After that, the dream of each and every Government employee would be what will be the quantum of hike? In that, what are all the concessions would be incorporated? Likewise, various questions and expectations would arise in the minds of each and every person.
We are all aware that the contents of the 6th Pay Commission had contained many deficiencies and fulfillments. After the implementation of the 6th Pay Commission, we would have noticed about the problem as ‘one increment’ through National Anomaly was finalized and we have received arrears of amount based on that. We all know that there were many finalized problems of such nature and unsolved problems.
Meanwhile, eagerness is generated in the minds of all the people as to what would be the outcome by forming of 7th Pay Commission. Last AISPIN value and the procedure for calculation of DA as also based on the present price index are not found appropriate. This has been pointed out by the Confederation on many occasions.
The merger of DA with basic pay as adopted in the 5th Pay Commission has not been made applicable in the 6th Pay Commission. Non-merger of 50% DA has formed regret and dissatisfaction on the minds of all the employees.
Likewise, forming of Pay Commission once in every 10 years is considered to be quite a long period. Due to the present alarming increase of price, in order to overcome the economic problems, it is quite obvious for all to expect the consideration of the present Pay Commission about the aspects like pay revision at least once in 5 years. For this sake, efforts to involve in agitations are being announced by the Union at various levels.
Various dreams and expectations would prevail on all as regards the details that would be covered by the Pay Commission. Likewise, some would be worried about the repetition of the problems those were encountered during the 6th Pay Commission in the 7th Pay Commission also.
In case of such worries if prevailing in your mind, please convey the same to the details of Email ID given below. I have plans to properly display the same in the http://www.7thpaycommissionnews.com/. As such, please register your expectations without delay.

It means that all outstanding anomalies which exist as of now will be carried forward to 7th CPC. This will delay resolving the existing anomalies permanently. The 7th CPC will come out with its own recommendations and leave behind the old ones. I suggest the GO first settle the outstanding issues on 6th CPC by fast tracking the anomalies giving the bureaucracy a time limit.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the anomalies of the 6th CPC should not be overlooked by the 7th CPC. I being the victim of those anomalies would like to give it first preference. One such anomaly was that 3 to 4 years junior employees were clubbed together under the same pay band. Consequently I am forced to draw equal pay with my 4 years junior colleagues. This, to my mind, is a great injustice. Unless otherwise warranted the difference between seniors and juniors must be maintained.
ReplyDeleteThere is no use of VII cpc for existing cg employees if there is no merger of 50% DA with basic. Check it yourself and find how we have been cheated.
ReplyDeleteThere is a huge gap in the salary and facilities of a govt employee having Pay Band-1 and employee having Pay Band -4 in India. It clearly shows that employees having Pay Band -4 are masters and employee having Pay Band -1 are slaves in India and we are following the rules of GULAM BHARAT of BRITISH era in India. If a employee having Pay Band-1 cannot do the work of a employee having Pay Band-4 then it is also hard truth that employee having Pay Band-4 can not do the work of a employee having Pay Band-1. We acknowledge the work done by the employee having Pay Band-4 but work done by the employee having Pay Band-1 also should be acknowledged. We should have a right of equality as per our constitution. We all collectively should think and work sincerely about this matter and we must approach to the 7th pay commission and government (who always talk to minimize difference between RICH AND POOR) to minimize the salary gap between highest paid employee and lowest paid employee of Govt of India. All are requested to write views on this matter.
ReplyDeleteThere should be different rate of DA for PB-1,PB-2 and PB-3,PB-4 as per 4th pay commision then the difference between Rich and Poor will be minimize.
ReplyDeleteThere is a huge Gap between Group B and A. GP system should be removed or One GP from 4200 ,4600 and 4800 should be removed.
ReplyDeleteImprovements of medical benefits for pensioners.
ReplyDeleteGovt. passed a Resolution vide DOE No. 1/1/2008-IC dt. 29 Aug 2008 to examine the introduction of Health Insurance Scheme for Central Govt. Employees and Pensioners ,known as CGEPHIS. Though 5 years have passed, the scheme has not been introduced yet.
It is essential that we should approach 7th CPC for immediate implementation of this Health Insurance Scheme which is a long felt need.
Other suggestions on medical benefits to pensioners are also requested from serving officials and pensioners.
Thanks,

Assuming total number of Central Govt. Pensioners at about 8 lakhs, it is a sizable number which should receive adequate life insurance coverage as a social security measure.
ReplyDeleteThere can be a Group Life insurance coverage providing Rs. 10/- lakh coverage to each pensioner / family pensioner.
Premiums will be reasonable as it will be a sizable Group of 8 lakh insured persons.
Entire premium can be paid by Govt. as a social security measure.
7th Pay Commission can be requested to agree to such a proposal of life insurance coverage.
Other suggestions on life insurance benefits to pensioners are also requested from fellow pensioners.
Thanks,

A cabinet secretary should not compare himself with a CEO of Private Organisation. The Govt organisation is not Cabinet secretary's Parental property. It is an organization run by public money. A cabinet secretary got the opportunity to educate himself. If an employee got the same opportunity, he could also become a cabinet secretary. Both have been facing same challenges as far as work is concerned according to the level of employment.
ReplyDeleteMoreover one member in the CPC should be an Engineer from unorganized Sector. No Pay Commission had done for unorganized govt cadres anything till date.
ONE FOR ONE INCREMENT
ReplyDeleteIt is seen that due to lack of vacancy , individual remains on one pay band for long time and suffers at the time of pay revision, were increments are clubbed.It is thus essential that in new pay band/replacement pay band all the increment are protected giving due respect to length of service.
Respected sir,
ReplyDeleteSub: Request for issue of orders to exercise second pension option for absorbed employees – Regarding.
As per CCS Pension Rules 1972, whenever an employee is absorbed in a department, the absorbed employee has an option either to receive pro rata retirement pension benefits or to continue to have the pension benefit of combined service under parent department and absorbing department. The option shall be exercised within six months. In case of absorbees, who have got their service counted, their retirement benefits were paid by the parent departments concerned to the absorbing departments.
But the various pension rules amended subsequently ( say after 1996 ) have extended the following additional pension benefits to the employees who opted pro rata pension, discriminating employees opted for combined service pension by counting their past service.
1. Restoration of 1/3 rd commuted pension to the employees who opted for lump sum payment on absorption along with Dearness Relief wef 1999.
2. Dearness Relief on pension from 1999 to all pro rata pensioners.
3. The VI Central Pay Commission has granted full pension for 10 years service.
Whenever discriminations are noticed, in the unforeseen circumstances such as change in pension rules, court orders, pay commission orders, condition of service etc, Government will usually provide an option to all concerned employees to exercise in the light of new rules so that there could not be any anomaly in the benefits due to them. By adhering this policy, the Public Sector Bank employees were permitted re-opening of pension option and enhancement in gratuity limits – Prudential Regulatory Treatment vide letter N.o.RBI/2010-11/400 DBOD.No.BP.BC.80/ 21.04.018/2010-11 dated 9.02.2011. The BSNL absorbees were also allowed to exercise second option for pro rata pension in several occasions considering their requests.
Unfortunately, no option is given to the absorbed employees’ who counted their past service. Since these employees are put into heavy loss by VI Pay Commission, it is requested to kindly cause necessary action for the issue of suitable orders permitting absorbed employees to exercise second pension option for pro rata pension / lump sum payment on absorption / counting past service etc. It is suggested that if the pension settlement procedure appears to be very difficult at this stage, all absorbees who counted their past service may be deemed as opted for lump sum payment on absorption as one time measure and order to settle pension benefits accordingly as given below.
1. The Parent department shall pay 1/3 rd pension to absorbees after 15 years from the date of absorption.
2. The absorbed department shall pay the retirement benefits received along with interest to absorbees.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
( R.DEVARAJU).
