Government sets up panel to study 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations
New Delhi, Jan 13 (PTI) Government today decided to set up a
high-powered panel headed by Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha to process the
recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission which will have bearing on the
remuneration of 47 lakh central government employees and 52 lakh
pensioners.
The Cabinet has approved the setting up of Empowered Committee of
Secretaries to process the recommendations of 7th Pay Commission in an
overall perspective, Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu
told reporters here.
The implementation of the new pay scales is estimated to put an
additional burden of Rs 1.02 lakh crore on the exchequer in 2016-17.
Subject to acceptance by the government, they will take effect from
January 1, 2016.
The Empowered Committee of Secretaries will function as a Screening
Committee to process the recommendations with regard to all relevant
factors of the Commission in an expeditious detailed and holistic
fashion, an official statement said.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had said earlier that he was not
worried about fiscal deficit and government would be able to meet its
target despite additional outgo on account of higher pay.
He had admitted however that the impact of implementing the
recommendations, which will result in an additional annual burden of Rs
1.02 lakh crore on exchequer, would last for two to three years.

Comparison of 7th CPC Pay Matrix in respect of Grade Pay
SHRI KHAJA SYED HAMEED HAS PREPARED A COMPARATIVE CHART ON THE
RECOMMENDATIONS OF 7TH CPC WHEREIN INCREASE OF PAY HAS BEEN ANALYSISED
ON THE BASIS OF EXISTING GRADE PAY. IN THIS METHOD ALSO GROUP C AND
GROUP B EMPLOYEES FOUND SUFFERER. THE STATEMENT AS PREPARED BY HIM IS
GIVEN BELOW:
VII th Pay Commission Injustice
Dear Sir,
I am bringing the following to your knowledge and information of Central
Government Staff that VIIth Pay commission has done injustice to 98% of
the Central Government Staff by just giving a multiplication factor of
around 10 times their existing Grade Pay but generously awarded more
than 14 times multiplication benefit to higher officials. So please
fight for uniform multiplication of 14 times of the Grade pay and for
each year of service one increment at the new scale as recommended to
retired employees to give justice to all.
| PB I Rs 5200-20200 Grade Pay | Minimum recommended @ entry level by 7th CPC (Rs) in the Pay Matrix | Multiplication factor by VII th pay Commission |
| 1800 | 18000 | 10 times |
| 1900 | 19900 (difference +1900) | 10.47 |
| 2000 | 21700(difference +1800) | 10.85 |
| 2400 | 25500(difference +3700) | 10.62 |
| 2800 | 29200(difference +3800) | 10.42 |
Initially for first 2 stages every Rs100/ in GP the corresponding
proposed increase is 1800 0r 1900 but for GP difference of Rs 400/ at
later 2 stages the corresponding increase is only Rs3700/ to Rs3800/-
whereas it must be Rs1800 0r 1900 multiplied by 4times to Rs7200-7600/.
| PB II Rs 9300-34800 Grade Pay | Minimum recommended @ entry level by 7th CPC (Rs) in pay matrix | Multiplication factor by VII th pay Commission |
| 4200 | 35400(difference +6200) | 8.42 times |
| 4600 | 44900 (difference +9500) | 9.76 |
| 4800 | 47600(difference +2700) | 9.91 |
| 5400 | 53100(difference +5500) | 9.83 |
Initially for Rs1400/- GP difference the corresponding increase proposed
is Rs6200/- but in next stage for Rs400/-GP the proposed hike is mind
blowing Rs9500/-,in next stage for Rs200/-GP the increase is Rs2700/-
and for Rs600/-GP hike further increase is Rs5500/-
| ||
| PB III Rs 15600-39100 Grade Pay | Minimum recommended @ entry level by 7th CPC (Rs) in the Pay matrix | Multiplication factor by VII th pay Commission |
| 5400 | 56100 | 10.38times |
| 6600 | 67700 (difference +11600) | 10.25 |
| 7600 | 78800(difference +11100) | 10.36 |
| For a GP of Rs1200/- difference the hike proposed is Rs11600/- and for another Rs1000/- GP increase the increase given by CPC is Rs 11100/- | ||
| PB IV Rs 37400-67000 Grade Pay | Minimum recommended @ entry level by 7th CPC (Rs)in the Pay matrix | Multiplication factor by VII th pay Commission |
| 8700 | 118500(difference +39700) | 13.62 times |
| 8900 | 131100 (difference +12600) | 14.73 |
| 10000 | 144200(difference +13100) | 14.42 |
For a GP increase of Rs1100/- the CPC proposed a hike of Rs39700/- and
for a GP difference of Rs200/- the CPC recommended a increase of
Rs12600/- and for a GP increase of Rs1100/- the CPC recommended a hike
of Rs13100/-
| ||
It will easily understood the members of VIIth Pay commission done
fixation and recommendation quite irrationally without any uniformity in
a whimsical manner. If 14 times multiplication is awarded to all the
staff uniformly Min.Basic will be Rs1800* 14 = 25200/-for entry level
staff. Kindly publish this in your website.
Kindly fight for justice.
Thanking you Sir,
Yours sincerely
Dr.Hameed

Implementation of 7th Pay Commission Recommendations – Taking Leave on 1-1-2016 will affect the effective date of Pay Revision
Implementation of 7th Pay Commission Recommendations – Taking Leave on 1-1-2016 will affect the effective date of Pay Revision
A Department of Para Military Forces has informed its officials that
Revision of Pay will be effected from 1st January 2016 only for those
who are present on duty on 1st January 2016. If he goes on leave on 1st
January 2016, the increased pay will be effected only from the date of
which such employee resumes duty and not from the first of January 2016.
The message sent for respective Department is given below.
“ As you aware that 7th Pay commission has already submitted their
report to Govt of India and same is likely to be accepted soon after
observing due formalities. The commission recommends that the date of
effect should be 01-01-2016. Rules provides that if a Government servant
is away on leave or is availing joining time as on 1st of January 2016
the increased pay will be effected only from the date of which such
employee resumes duty and not from the first of January 2016. All Force
personnels informed accordingly.”
Hence the Government Servants those who are planning to go on leave to
celebrate New Year day or for any other reasons on 1st January 2016,
have to re think about their decision. Its Better for them to check with
their Departments about the impact on Revision of Pay if they avail
leave on 1st January 2016.

TOTALLY DISAPPOINTING
POSTAL EMPLOYEES – ALL DEMANDS REGARDING ENHANCED WAGES AND SERVICE CONDITIONS REJECTED HOLD PROTEST DEMONSTRATIONS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
Highlights of the 7th CPC for Department of Posts Employees :
Postal Services Board :
The
Commission has examined the demand for granting apex level to the
members of the PSB and is of the view that adequate functional
justification for the same does not exist. ( Para 11.8.11)
The
Commission however is no t in favour of creating an additional post of
member to discharge the financial function and is of the view that the
portfolios of the six members can be so re-arranged that the need to
create a new post of Member is obviated. ( Para 11.8.12)
IPS (Group – A):
In
so far as Director, National Postal Academy is concerned, the view
taken is that functional justification from upgrading the post to Apex
level does not exist. As far as the rest of the demands for upgradation /
creation of posts are concerned, these are administrative matters,
which may be taken up with the concerned departments in the government. (
Para 11.8.15)
Postmaster Cadre :
The
Commission recommends that while 25 percent of the posts of Senior Post
Master may continue to be filled up from Post Master Gr.III through
seniority based promotions, eligible officers from the Post Masters’
cadre (Postmaster Gr.II and Postmaster Gr.III) may also be permitted to
appear for LDCE along with Inspector (Posts) for the balance 75 percent
of the Senior Postmasters’ posts ( Para 11.8.18)
Inspector Cadre :
The
Commission, therefore, recommends that Inspector (Posts) who are
presently in the GP 4200 should be upgraded to GP 4600. With this
upgradation, Inspector (Posts) shall come to lie in an identical grade
pay as that of their promotion post of Assistant Superintendent of Posts
(ASPOs). A higher grade would thus need to be extended to ASPOs.
Accordingly, the Commission recommends that the promotional post of
ASPOs be placed in the next higher GP 4800 and further, the post of
Superintendent (Posts), which is presently in the GP 4800, be moved up
to GP 5400 (PB-2). ( Para 11.8.21)
Postal Assistants / Sorting Assistants / LSG / HSG-II / HSG-I:
The
Commission is of the view that there is no justification
for enhancement of minimum educational qualifications for Direct
Recruits for Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistants from Class XII to
Graduation and the entry grade pay from GP 2400 to GP 2800. No
justification for upgrading LSG, HSG-II & HSG-I (Para 11.8.23 &
11.8.24)
P A ( SBCO) :
The
Commission is therefore of the view that no upgradation is warranted.
As regards grant of cash handling allowance, the Commission is of the
view that with the spread of banking and internet based payments coming
into vogue there is no merit in granting an allowance for handling cash.
( Para 11.8.27).
Postman :
The
Commission has noted the entry level qualifications prescribed (Class X
or ITI for MTS) as also the work content, and is of the view that there
is no justification for further raising the entry grade pay of Postman.
( Para 11.8.29)
Mail Guard :
As
no modification in the grade pay of Postman is recommended, the Mail
Guard shall also be placed in same pay level. ( Para 11.8.33)
Multi Tasking Staff :
No upgrade is considered necessary for either MTS-domestic or MTS-foreign posts. ( Para 11.8.37)
Binders :
There is no justification for raising the entry grade pay as sought. ( Para 11.8.39)
Artisans :
The
Commission is of the view that no anomaly exists in the present pay
structure of these posts. The cadre of artisans in the Department of
Posts shall accordingly be extended only the corresponding replacement
level of pay. ( Para 11.8.43)
Translation Officer :
The
Commission, therefore, suggests that a comparative study of the job
profiles be carried out by the department to arrive at the precise job
content and a view taken thereafter. ( Para 11.8.45)
Technical Supervisors :
No upgrade is recommended. (11.8.47)
Gramin Dak Sewaks:
The Commission has carefully considered the demand and noted the following:
a. GDS are Extra-Departmental Agents recruited by Department of Posts to serve in rural areas.
b. As per the RRs, the minimum educational qualification for recruitment to this post is Class X.
c. GDS are required to beon duty only for 4-5 hours a day under the terms and conditions of their service.
d.
The GDS are remunerated with Time Related Continuity Allowance (TRCA)
on the pattern of pay scales for regular government employees, plus DA
on pro-rata basis.
e. A GDS must have other means of income independent of his remuneration as a GDS, to sustain himself and his
Government
of India has so far held that the GDS is outside the Civil Service of
the Union and shall not claim to be at par with the Central Government
employees. The Supreme Court judgment also states that GDS are only
holders of civil posts but not civilian employees.
The Commission endorses this view and therefore has no recommendation with regard to GDS. ( Para 11.8.49 & 11.8.50)
Separate Cadre for S As / M Es :
System
Administrators and Marketing Executives have demanded creation of
separate cadres with higher pay scales. Presently incumbents of these
posts are drawn from the cadre of Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistant
Cadre.
The
V and the VI CPC have also dealt with this issue and have not
recommended separation of cadres. The Commission also does not see any
rationale for creating separate cadres. (Para 11.8.51 & 11.8.52)

purposes, and noted the following:
(a) GDS are Extra-Departmental Agents recruited by Department of Posts to serve in rural areas.
(b) As per the Recruitment Rules the minimum educational qualification for recruitment to this post is class X.
(c) GDS are required to be on duty only for 4 to 5 hours a day under the terms and conditions of their service.

holder of Civil posts but not civilian employees. The Commission
endorses this view and therefore has no recommendation with regard to
