2008-08-13T16:40:00.000+05:30

Today on 13th august, 2008 In PM office, at discussions, it is decided that sixth pay commission report is going to be approved by cabinet on 14th august, 2008. PM is going to give more information about 6th pay commission on 15th august.

It is expected that all the doubt about revised sixth pay commission report by COS will be cleared tomorrow.

On 15th August PM will announce about 6th PC implementation

2008-08-07T14:28:00.000+05:30

Some website says that 6th pay commission will be effective from 01.01.2008. It will be ridicules to cut the arrears of two year in the fear of extra burden on Indian economy in the name of high inflation rate. This is not confirmed yet.

There is high possibility that PM will announce about the time line of implementation of 6th pay commission report. It is more likely that the modified 6th pay commission report will go to 13th finance commission and government will ask them to finish the analysis before 31 October 2008.

Now government's aim is to bring the date of implementation as near as general election date or delay it till inflation rate will be down.

So now, you can expect some new latest news of sixth pay commission on 15th august. Amidst all uncertainty, it is sure that Central government employee will get revised pay before the voting date of general election !!

SPC recommendations is ready for approval after GOVT is safe

2008-07-22T21:29:00.000+05:30

The UPA Government today scored an emphatic victory in the confidence vote in the Lok Sabha with a comfortable margin.

Now for government, it will be easy to implement the modified sixth pay commission as soon as possible.

It is expected that before 30 august 6th pay commission will be approved by the cabinet of government. There is no reason for delaying it further now.

It is sure that the proposal of 1% more annual increments to 20% higher performers among group A officers will not be accepted, as it will be very difficult to differentiate performing officers from non-performer.

It is unlikely to increase the retirement age to 62 year.

cabinet meeting for SPC after 22 july

2008-07-12T16:09:00.000+05:30

6th pay commission report was not in the agenda of the Cabinet Committee meeting on 11th July 2008. Government's only concern now is about saving the government from the motion of confidence at parliament on 22th July. If UPA fails in parliament, SPC report will be discussed only after the formation of new government.

You can expect any new news about 6th pay commission and new pay information only after 22nd July.

Not a single political party is opposing the worst recommendation by Committee of Secretaries (CoS) or original 6th pay commission report.

Govt to discuss pay report at next Cabinet meeting

2008-07-05T08:51:00.000+05:30

July 3: With high-powered Committee of Secretaries (CoS) headed by Cabinet Secretary K.M. Chandrasekhar handing over the Sixth Pay Commission report suggesting a few cosmetic changes, the government is now likely to consider it in the next meeting of the Union Cabinet.

Informing about this, a senior Union Cabinet minister on the condition of anonymity said, "In the next meeting of the Cabinet, the Pay Commission report would be discussed and hopefully a decision will be arrived at."

The CoS, even after reviewing the entire report and going through the grievances raised by various sections of the government employees, however failed to address all the concerns and instead it suggested hiving off the arrears by 18 months.

This means that instead of these to be computed from January 1, 2006, as suggested by the Pay Commission, the employees should get from July 1, 2007.

Pay Revision Committee submitted its Recommendations for new salary hike

2008-07-03T20:06:00.000+05:30

The Pay Revision Committee has suggested an additional pay of 15 per cent for the armed and paramilitary forces, over and above the revised basic pay scales. The committee has also proposed to upwardly revise the basic pay scales recommended by the Sixth Pay Commission (SPC) and an increase in grade pay at all levels.

For all central government employees, the SPC had recommended a maximum grade pay of Rs 13,000, while the committee has suggested Rs 18,000 as the highest grade pay. The grade pay fixed by the SPC for the junior most Group A officer was Rs 5,400, which the committee has increased to Rs 7,000. The committee has also suggested annual increments of four per cent instead of the 2.5/3.5 per cent recommended by the SPC. The suggestions drafted by the committee, headed by the Cabinet Secretary, are subject to final approval and sanction of the Cabinet.

However, the committee has also suggested that new pay scales be implemented with effect from July 1, 2007, instead of January 1, 2006, that was recommended by the SPC.If approved, this would imply that Central government employees would not get arrears equivalent to one and half year’s revised salary as was being expected.

The 15 per cent additional pay worked out by the committee ranges from Rs 1,248 per month at the lowest level to a maximum of Rs 9,048 at the highest.

In addition, the committee has suggested 15 pay scales instead of the 22 recommended by the SPC. It has that also suggested 10 pay bands instead of the four recommended by the latter.

The lowest pay scale (1-S) recommended by the SPC was 4440-7440 1300. The corresponding pay scale (PB-1) suggested by the committee is 5,500-16,500 with grade pay of Rs 2,500. The basic pay works out to be Rs 8,000 and with the inclusion of annual increment (4 pc), dearness allowance (15 pc) and the 15 per cent additional pay, the lowest gross pay works out to be Rs 10,816.

The highest pay scale recommended by the SPC was 39,200-67,000 13,000. The corresponding scale suggested by the committee is 40,000-60,000 along with a grade pay of Rs 18,000. In this scale, the basic pay works out to be Rs 58,000 and with the inclusion of increment, DA and additional pay the gross pay at the highest level (PB-10) works out to be Rs 78,416.

No Good News For Babus

2008-06-23T08:57:00.000+05:30

The empowered committee examining the 6th pay commission's proposals is unlikely to "rewrite" the original report in any big way. The committee was formed on an assurance from PM Manmohan Singh who said that the concerns of government employees would be accounted for before implementing the salary proposals.

The committee, headed by cabinet secretary K M Chandrasekhar, has progressed well in its work and is expected to submit its much awaited report by July first week of 2008. The pay panel's recommendations, effective from January 2006, are likely to be accepted and implemented "very soon" after that.

The committee will definitely not go into the nitty-gritty of the entire report but may recommend very minor changes here and there

Inflation has been on a continuous uptrend. The fact is that prices of not just petrol, diesel and LPG, but of essential commodities, foodgrain and vegetables have been rising. The pay hike recommend is nothing in comparison to inflation. So Babus should prepare themselves to live with less money!

Sources said the government is being extra cautious in taking a final decision on the pay report proposals and this is believed to be the cause for the delay.

Modification in pay scale only for Defence Personnel and Police

2008-06-12T18:57:00.000+05:30

Under pressure on account of mounting expenditure, the government is likely to make only marginal changes in the recommendations made by the Sixth Pay Commission. Changes are likely only in the case of defence personnel and police forces, it is understood.

The committee of secretaries headed by Cabinet secretary K M Chandrashekhar looking into the commission’s recommendations is expected to submit its report by the end of July. These would then go to the Cabinet for approval.

Another panel headed by finance secretary D Subbarao is separately looking into the grievances of defence and police forces. This committee will give its inputs to the committee of secretaries that has secretaries of the departments of home, defence, revenue, expenditure, post, security as well as deputy comptroller and auditor general and member secretary of Railway board as its members.

Goa Employees protest 6th PC

2008-06-04T02:02:00.000+05:30

Hunger Strike by Defence Men on 29 may 2008

2008-05-26T18:01:00.000+05:30

Former defence personnel, protesting the recommendations of the Sixth pay Commission, have decided to go on a hunger strike in Delhi on ( Thursday, 29 may 2008) and later follow up with rallies across the country.

“All veterans have been asked to take part in the hunger-strike. Such an action is necessary to inform the people about the mistreatment of the military and highlight the genuine demands of the armed forces personnel. We are resorting to the hunger-strike as we have been driven to the wall by the Pay Commission and have exhausted most avenues of protest,” said Satbir Singh, a gallantry award winner.

"Till 1972, the armed forces had a separate pay commission. In 1973, we were put in the same basket (along with civil employees). But we want a separate commission," Lt. Gen. (retd) Raj Kadyan told reporters here.

They wanted to stage protest there April 29 too, but the home ministry denied them permission. "This time we have not sought a permission but informed the government about the rally. Last time we acted like disciplined soldiers, and will continue to do so," Kadyan said

Remember that, this hunger strike will be only for the benefit of Indian Forces, not for civilian central Gov employees.

Atomic, Space scientists reject pay structure by SCPC

2008-05-23T05:14:00.000+05:30

After Armed Forces personnel, Atomic and Space scientists are now upset with the "very low" pay structure recommended by the Pay Commission and rejected it outright and also sought intervention of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The scientists and technologists said the salary scales recommended by the Sixth Central Pay Commission (SCPC) reflected its "appalling attitude" towards the scientific community not tenable with the growth of the country's high-tech departments. They have sought an appointment with Singh, who is also the Minister-in-charge of their departments, for help in rectifying the "anomalies."
"In any case, the recommendations are no where comparable with IT and IT-enabled sectors and we summarily reject the pay structure recommended by SCPC," President of Confederation of Atomic and Space Scientists and Technologists (COAST), Josheph Winston of Indira Gandhi Centre said in a release.
The COAST met on May 17 and reviewed the Commission's rrecommendatiaons at Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu and examined in detail the "anomalies" of the recommendations, he said.
"In the long run, such an apathetic attitude of SCPC would lead to total collapse of scientific and technological base in India along with a complete halt to the indigenous technology," COAST's Vice-President R Rama Varma, VSSC (Trivandrum) said.

Winston said the poor package recommended would not attract the younger scientists and lead to brain drain and remorse amongst those who continue with these organisations. Later, these scientists would try to leave these departmetns and join MNCs or private sectors, he said. source

Security Press of India opposing 6th pay commission recommendations

2008-05-22T12:55:00.000+05:30

Nasik's Security Press of India employees opposing 6th pay commission recommendations. A meeting of the Workers Union of the Security Press of India was held at the Gate No 3.

The leaders of the Union also stated that a number of recommendations of the Pay Commission were aimed at disrupting the workers movement in India. The President Mr Arun Badgujar accused that the pay commission had recommended only a paltry rise in the salaries.

However the more damaging effects of the pay commission were the targeting of the Workers Movement which was a more serious issue. The government should not use this forum to disrupt the workers movement. The reduction in the number of vacancies for the Class IV employees and the reduction in Public Gazetted Holidays was strongly opposed. source

2008-05-17T15:07:00.000+05:30

Finance Minister of Goa Dayanand Narvekar told TOI, "the government is not in a position to raise the pay scales of the government employees to bring about parity. We have to make provision for the 6th pay commission which is likely to come into force on June 1, 2008."

Goa is facing trouble for Rs 800 crore for sixth pay commission recommended pay scale implementation.

The government has assured to finalise the "parity issue" with the employees association positively by May 25. "Based on their assurance, we have suspended our agitation. Or else, we will strike," Shetkar said.

We are expecting around Rs 100-crore from the mining cess. For the additional amount, government might have to take loans or raise taxes or even divest money from other portfolios, which means cutting down on developmental works."Narvekar said.

Revised pay package for Army

2008-05-06T00:06:00.000+05:30

It is time for cheer for Army personals because a revised pay package for the armed forces personnel including enhanced Military Service Pay for those below officer rank would be finalized today at meeting chaired by the Cabinet Secretary K M Chandrashekar.

Navy Chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta, Air Chief Marshal F H Major and Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor would attend the meeting.

The meeting would also be attended by other secretaries in the empowered group of secretaries set up by the government to go into anomalies in the pay packages of armed forces personnel.

Meanwhile, Defence Minister A K Antony said on Monday that there was no ''large scale'' departures from the services despite the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations not coming up to their expectations.

''Army personnel are allowed to leave service on account of various reasons like suppression, extreme compassionate grounds, low medical category and failure to acquire minimum educational qualification,'' the minister said in reply to a written question in the Lok Sabha.

He put the number of officers who were permitted to leave services due to various reasons during the last five years at 3474.

What non-army employees say about 6th cpc

2008-05-03T22:40:00.000+05:30

1. 6th Pay commission submitted its report. which complicated whole affairs. Report washed away all efforts made by previous pay commissions.

2. GP "B" employees merger in the pay scale with other gp C employees has put them in great constraint.

3. Accounts officer's (in organized accounts department) pay scale upto 4th pay commission was one step more than the (entry grade2200-4500) ie 2375-3500 which was put to 7500-12500 in 5the pay commission i.e. one step below the entry grade ie 8000-13500.these Accounts officer upto 5th pay commission were treated equal to major rank in the ARMY and were accommodated in the officers Mess. With implementation of 6th pay commission they will be placed equal to the rank of sub major in army and Shall be accommodated in jco, S messes. please think what will be the efficiency of these officer when presently saluted by upto captain rank officers will be treated as JCO of the ARMY.

4. Reduction of scales to four scales with the span of 35 to 52 years is useless as no one is going to serve for 52 years.

5. Increment at 2.5 % is less than the present benefit. We are happy if one master scale is given to all ranks .

6. raising of pay for scales of 26000/- and 30000/- with the multiplier of 3 to 80000/- and 90000/- created discrimination and proved that poor will remain poor and rich will remain rich. Is proportion of 1:20 reasonable between lowest and the highest?

7. It is there fore requested that every ones Basic pay should be multiplied by three and fixed in respective existing scales multiplied by three without reducing the scales to 4 scales as proposed.

we should be favorable to our Army but not surrender to them Army is within the masses and masses is not within the Army. they should be paid much higher allowances in the field and operations and normal in the peace type location. There should not be any comparison with the civil servant. More you give, more they will demand and there will be no end to it.

Army need double Military Service Pay (MSP)

2008-05-03T22:29:00.000+05:30

Since there is so much hue & cry over the loss of moral among army officers due to low salaries, I think it is appropriate time that actual nature of 'military' job may be identified for each category of post and posting.

The Military Service Pay is a misnomer and it should be renamed as Hardship Pay because every military rank is not necessarily a hard posting. Every jawan or officer working in so identified hardship posting, say at Siachin, must be entailed to equal Hardship pay, irrespective of whether he is a jawan or officer. More so, because officer still enjoys some facilities even at these postings but the condition for jawans is really bad. So, a hardship pay of Rs. 6000 must be payable to all those posted at hard postings, so identified.

Regarding the claim of other officers/jawans for MSP (Hardship Pay), their actual working environment should considered. For eg. persons posted in Delhi or any other major city, working in offices, having accommodation nearby, are no no way different from his counterpart in a civilian service.

It would therefore, be quite absurd to pay MSP (Harship pay) to persons posted in Ministry of defense or defense HQs, as they do no suffer any hardship in that posting, though they are in forces, but in fact they are better than civilian counterparts at these postings.

CCGEW will protest against 6th CPC report

2008-04-16T16:55:00.000+05:30

The Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers (CCGEW), Pune, has decided to protest against the report of the 6th Pay Commission as submitted by Justice Shrikrishna to the Government.

The issue will be discussed in the meeting of confederation's Pune branch to hold demonstration at District Collector's office on April 17 from 4.00 pm to 6.00 pm.

The protestors would be protesting against the adhoc and PLB bonus, which will be replaced by performance related incentive scheme; the women employees will be provided with staggering working hours, special leave for child care, maternity leave up to 180 days, increased working facilities like working women hostels etc.

Other areas, which have invited the attention of the protestors are the proposed rate of increment ie 25 per cent may bring about a dip in the quantum of the pre-revised increment in certain cases.

The demand for increment at 5 per cent of pay stands revised.

The increment in all cases will be effective from July 1. The government has been given the discretion to do away with the grade pay even in individual cases as part of introduction of performance related pay scheme.

The minimum wage/salary is fixed at Rs 5,740 and not at 6,600. The CCA is subsumed in the transport allowance and the transport allowance is increased by 4 times.

Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) is replaced by medi-insurance.

The number of closed holidays has been reduced to three and restricted holidays have been increased to 8.

The commission also recommended abolition of Group D posts, which means elimination of 12 lakh posts in the central government services.

The sixth pay commission’s recommendation on wage/salary rise is grossly discriminatory against the employees category vis-à-vis the high level officer.

A large number of protestors from different walks of life are expected to participate in the protest. Source

Report will be reviewed by committee

2008-04-12T08:04:00.000+05:30

Now the sixth pay commission report will be reviewed by high-level official committee of secretaries set up by the government. This committee is headed by the Cabinet Secretary K M Chandrasekhar.

This committee will review all aspects of sixth pay commission report and if this committee wants to change some recommendations of 6th pay commission report, they can recommend government to change it.

This review is the final step for sixth pay commission. After completion of review, government will only need to get approval from cabinet. After approving from cabinet , all government employees will get revised salary. You can expect increased salary in your pay slip within three to four months.

Possiblity of change of 6th CPC report

2008-04-10T20:43:00.000+05:30

It is not hidden now that sixth pay commission report is completely rejected by 98% of government employees. Sixth pay panel was required to renew and improve pay scales, but main work done by 6th CPC is introduction of "pay bands" (without much improvements in salary).

Just imagine how IAS got the best out of the 6th CPC ranging basic pay from Rs 39000 to 67000 while all the officers right from entry to seniors are placed in Rs 15600 to 37000. What does it indicate?

Government wants people supports in next election. There is high probability that Sixth pay commission report will be modified to satisfy large number of people.

PSUs demanded independent pay stucture

2008-04-07T22:12:00.001+05:30

There is a lot of money at Indian PSUs now. The government salary is too low in comparison to other private sectors. But profit of PSU is almost same to equivalent private sector. There is very high demand of talented and skilled man power in PSUs to retain the high growth . But they are unable to attract suitable people because of low salary.

So now PSUs are demanding independent pay structure from government. Sixth pay commission report also recommended it.

If this will be approved by government, all PSUs can independently fix perks and various allowances for its employees same as Private sector. Government will not have to pay for it. This extra cost will be paid by PSUs from their profits.

People working in PSUs will find soon lot of differences in salary because of variable pay and perks.

Indian Police Wants World Class Pay

2008-04-04T00:15:00.001+05:30

IPS officers are not satisfied with the pay scale recommended in sixth pay commission. They want world class salary if people wants world class facility from Indian Police.

It is a common thinking among people is that too much pay hike for government servant is unnecessary and it will cause high inflation rate. Public don't understand that how important is to increase pay upto decent level, this will cause reduction in corruption and ultimately will help common people.

All news media also highlighting at most of the time, pay hike of 26000 Rs (fixed) to 80000 Rs. But how much percentage of employees are in this category, nobody tells. The percentage is very very low. Most of the central government employees have not got recommended pay as they are expecting.

People Unsatified With sixth pay commission report

2008-03-27T13:07:00.000+05:30

All news about 40% rise in salary is absolutely wrong. If you read full report here or calculate your net salary, you will find that actual rise in pay is only around 20% for most of central government employees.

Now unsatisfied with sixth pay commission report, armed forces are planning to petition the government to ensure officers and jawans get better pay packages than the ones recommended. The matter is likely to be raised when Admiral Sureesh Mehta, General Deepak Kapoor and Air Chief Marshal F H Major meet defence minister A K Antony on Thursday.

Admiral Mehta said, ‘‘There are always anomalies in the pay commissions, which need to be corrected. We will take it up directly with the pay commission.’’ General Kapoor, in turn, said, ‘‘We are studying the proposals... We will come out with cogent suggestions to the defense ministry. There is always scope for improvement in everything.’’

Remember that, they will talk for only armed forces, not for civilians employees.

The Pay Commission report will benefit 55 lakh Central Government employee, which might the cost the government Rs.13,000 - Rs. 16,000 crore per annum. The commission was set up by government in 2006.

TOI latest news on sixth pay commission

2008-03-21T09:36:00.000+05:30

TOI published some points of sixth pay commission report(about 52% hike in salary), which they got from their "internal source". TOI assumes that report will be submitted before next Tuesday. The main part of this TOI articale is as follows.

indications are that a secretary to the government will have a basic salary of Rs 80,000 a month (up from Rs 26,000 with 50% merged dearness pay and 47% DA).

The Cabinet Secretary, the country's seniormost officer, is likely to have a basic of Rs 90,000 (up from Rs 30,000 with 50% merged dearness pay and 47% DA).

The across-the-board hike could be paler compared to the pay commission's fifth edition (1997), the best bounty so far, as the proposed quantum of hike now is a few percentage points (just around 0.40) lower. But the good news is that a government employee could, sources said, now look forward to higher annual increments, besides the regular addition of DA, which is now an annual average of 12%. As expected, the commission may slash the number of scales to 18 from the present 33, to facilitate accounting and uniformity across various employees and officers.

A likely implication for senior officers in A1 cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad) could be that government accommodation might not seem as attractive as before because their HRA may rise substantially.

At the minimum entry level (Group 'D'), a government employee is likely to get Rs 8,000 now while the highest starting pay in non-gazetted grade (Group 'C') could be Rs 20,000.

The expected starting pay for gazetted Group 'A' and Group 'B' officers could be Rs 26,000 and Rs 22,000 respectively.

Pay at the highest government (secretary) level is likely to be Rs 80,000. At present, a Group 'A' officer gets around Rs 18,000 at entry (12% HRA in A1 cities is extra). These scales would have higher annual increments

The reason is obviously to save money expenditure of Government. Also, time is very near to implement 6th pay commission (hopefully in August 2008). So instead of giving Interim relief, government are trying to implement SPC recommendation as soon as possible (doubtful) . But the main problem is 6th pay commission has still not submitted its most awaited report. Its tenure will be ending on july 4th 2008. Will they submit report within 10-12 days from now?

Why 6th pay commition should not be implimented.

2008-02-28T10:36:00.000+05:30

People in Govt sector are supposed to serve the public. They should not think about luxuries and compare themselves with the private sector. The private sector is there to make profits which it may share with its employees, but the Govt sector exists to serve the Indian citizen majority of whom are poor. Therefore the Govt servant should live like a sanyasi on the bare minimum salary and comfort. If such people want to make money, they should quit their jobs and join the private sector. (This is what a common people thinks about Government Employee, this attitude of thinking need to change)
