Delhi: The Seventh Pay Commission is likely to submit its final report
to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on November 20 which is due for
implementation from January 1, 2016.
Seventh
Central Pay Commission Chairman Justice A K Mathur is likely to submit
his final report to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on November 20.
50
lakh serving central government employees and 55 lakh pensioners will
be impacted by the Seventh Pay Commission, which is likely to recommend
an average hike of 15% of basic salary, said a source.
The
900-page report is believed to have made made suggestions on parity of
36 organised `Group A' services with the IAS, which has so far largely
dominated superior positions in the central government.
One
of the demands of the Group A services is to change the composition of
the Civil Services Board which is responsible for central staffing. As
of now this is controlled by IAS officers and has no representation from
any other service. The pay panel may recommend changes that would
ensure level playing field for all officers of Group A services.
The
Seventh Pay Commission, headed by Justice A K Mathur, was appointed by
the previous UPA government in February 2014 for 18 months. Its terms
was extended in August 2015 by four months till December 31, 2015. The
recommendations of the commission would be implemented from January 1,
2016.
Its
recommendation will guide how the salary and various allowances of
central government employees will be revised besides improving their
service condition. The report would also impact all states government
employees after some modifications.
According to the Finance Ministry, the reports of Seventh Central Pay Commission may be implicated from April next year
