Consolidated pay package in above cases to be raised by 25 percent as and when Dearness Allowance goes up by 50 percent. All other benefits, including Travelling Allowance/Daily Allowance on tour etc., to be provided by the Regulatory Bodies as per their rules and regulations. (Para No. 13.15 (ii) of the Report)

Accepted

13.15 (ii) On the demand of the regulatory bodies for periodic revision of consolidated pay on the pattern of government servants, the Commission notes that the consolidated pay structure was delinked from the pay and allowances structure obtaining in Government of India. Pension drawn by re-employed government retirees is also not deducted from the consolidated pay. Thus, the Commission is of the view that the revision in the consolidated pay package cannot be linked to six monthly Dearness Allowance increase provided in the case of Central Government employees. However, keeping in view the erosion of purchasing power through inflation, the Commission recommends that the consolidated pay package may be raised by 25 percent as and when Dearness Allowance goes up by 50 percent. All other benefits, including medical facilities, TA/DA on tour etc. may be provided by the regulatory bodies as per their rules and regulations.
