7th Pay Commission Report Allowances for Performing Extra Duty
Sometime the employees are required to perform certain extra duties, in addition to their core duty list, for which they are duly remunerated. This remuneration is in the form of various allowances as follows:
Extra Duty Allowance is granted to regular ranks of Naik and Havaldar in the Indian Army holding certain appointments in peace and war establishments. The present rates are:
|
To Naiks holding the post of Havaldar |
₹100 pm |
|
To Havaldars holding the post of Naib Subedar |
₹160 pm |
Analysis and Recommendations
Similar to the allowances granted for holding additional charge, here also the Commission is of the view that the compensation should be uniform, and as a percentage of the employee’s Basic Pay. Accordingly, it is recommended that these allowances should be covered under a new Extra Work Allowance, which shall be governed as under:
Extra Work Allowance
a. Extra Work Allowance will be paid at a uniform rate of 2 percent of Basic Pay per month.
b. An employee may receive this allowance for a maximum period of one year, and there should be a minimum gap of one year before the same employee can be deployed for similar duty again.
c. This allowance should not be combined, i.e., if same employee is performing two or more such duties, and is eligible for 2 percent allowance for each add-on, then the total Extra Work Allowance payable will remain capped at 2 percent.
