Some Points / Suggestions for VII th pay commission

It is proposed to give a memorandum to the Chairman of the VII th pay commission our suggestion on the following points, hence it is invited from the colleagues more suggestion   to incorporate in the memorandum.

Since 1946, six pay commissions had been constituted to review and recommend the pay structure of the Central Government Employees. The pay commissions have taken many aspects into consideration to prescribe the pay structure. Some mile stones are

i)                    Living wage

ii)                   Need-based wage

iii)                 Proper pay package

Generally, the pay commission will analyse all the aspects including the economic situation of the country, financial resources of the government, comparison with public sector, private sector and state government pay structure.

It is observed an interesting factor which is common to all the past pay commission recommendations, particularly in the matter of percentage of increase in the pay. Average 3 times increase in the pay commission recommended by each pay commission and it was implemented.

The proposed pay commission prefer to continue the same running pay band and grade pay system the revised pay structure may like as below.

The 6 th Pay commission introduce a new method of giving annual increment in 1^st July and employees completing six months and above in the scale as on July 1^st will eligible for increment.

It is suggested instead of 1^st July if it is as 1^st Jan the problem of Feb to June and also the increment earned for 6 months qualifying service having the punishment of 6 months increment withheld of the punishment having no effect also solved .The full increment will be earned after completion of one year only.

The pay in the revised scale should be fixed to both those in either in substantive or officiating post on 01.01.2016. The next increment will be on 01.01.2017.

If those who are having non-qualifying service between two increment, the increment to be given as above. Say 11.01.2016 to 20.06.2011 his increment should be reduced for full completed month proportionately as 4*0.25 =1 from 3% and given on 01.01.2017 which is beneficial to the official without any postponement of increment from 01.01.2017.

Those who are promoted on 01.01.2016 the pay in the pre-revised scale should be fixed on 01.01.2016 and 3% increment should be given for promotion with next grade pay.

The increment for promotion having higher responsibility should be minimum 10% (deputation allowance is 10% and teaching allowance 15%) for not involving higher responsibility it may be 3% . For MACP either it may be 3% increase only or a separate intermediately grade pay to be introduced for getting 10% increase. The promotion is not attractive meagre amount of increase in Pay and even in drop in emoluments when promoted to station from 30% station  to 20% station.

Those who are promoted after 01.01.2016 the next increment will be on 01.01.2017 only but at proportionate rate.

               Eg: if promoted on 02.02.2016 then his next increment on 01.01.2017 at 2.75%(3*11/12%)

                ie 0.25%  to be reduced per month. 

      

If those who are having non-qualifying service between two increment, the increment to be given as above. Say 11.01.2016 to 20.06.2011 his increment should be reduced for full completed month proportionately as 4*0.25 =1 from 3% and given on 01.01.2017  which is beneficial to the official.

The same will be adopted for retirement cases also.

Those who are retiring between  Jan to June even though they are having more than six months qualifying service they are not eligible for increment but those who are retiring on or after July and having only six months qualifying service will earn increment on 01.07. This also can be removed by adopting the same analogy as mentioned above by giving proportionate increment.

If this will be recommended it will be another mile stone in the recommendation of pay commission.

For example those who are retiring in between Feb to June they will get a proportionate increment @0.25% per month and it will give some benefit to the retiring employee.

Nowadays, any organized sector or corporate sector welcoming the cashless treatment nearby residence. Hence, instead of Medical Attendance Rules, it is better to provide Health Insurance coverage to all employees with their family on recovering Rs300/= per month as CGHS recovery and provide Insurance coverage to all employees. Nowadays only 20 -30% employees only enjoying the benefit under MA rules but this scheme will cover all the employees.

The yearly contribution by all Central Government employees will touch the amount of Rs 1326 crores by 3684543 employees if it becomes 2 times (ie Rs 600) in 7^th Pay Commission the amount will be Rs 2652 crores but the expenditure on reimbursement of medical claims shows 50% of the above amount for the past 3 years.

2009                        2010                             2011

518.89                    641.21                         599.34 (brochure 34 of Govt of India)

 If health insurance provided, the fear on health will reduce and will give hope on living and on department welfare.
