Pay Matrix of 7th Pay Commission is likely to be changed by government, minimum pay to get boost
New Delhi: Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha who is heading the high powered secretarues committee to examine the report of the 7th Pay Commission is likely to revise pay structures of central government employees before handing over it to finance Minister Arun Jaitley in June. the finance Ministry sources said: “the proposal will be placed before the cabinet for nod after the finance Minister’s review. “We don’t think secretaries committee will be able to hand over proposal to Finance Minister before June, considering time taking process of implementation Cell in the finance Ministry which works as the secretariat of the secretaries committee to review demands submitted by the central government employees unions. However, the new pay structure will be effective from January 1,” sources further said.
The pay commission headed by Justice A K Mathur presented its report to Finance Minister Arun Jaitely in November.
The commission had proposed minimum pay to Rs.18,000 per month but the secretaries committee is likely to propose to make in Rs.20,000 they added.
However, central Government employees unions demanded minimum pay Rs.26,000. “We think it should not be touched to Rs.26,000”. They confirmed.
Once the minimum pay is hiked, salaries of 48 lakh central government employees will rise than the seventh Pay Commission recommendations.
They said everyone’s salary should be ‘automatically’ increased when the minimum pay is increased.
They said it was ‘natural’ for the secretaries committee to recommend to hike maximum basic pay proposed by the pay panel. “It also happened before”.
The government formed the 13 members of Empowered Committee of Secretaries headed by Sinha on January 13 to review the report of the Justice A K Mathur led pay commission.

The Seventh Pay Commission led by Justice A K Mathur was set up be UPA government in February 2014.
After getting the report, the Finance Minister Arun Jaitely said, the impace of the seventh pay commission recommendations would be an increase of 0.65 percentage on expenditure on salaries to GDP compared to 0.77 per cent in 6th Pay Commission.

Sir,
The Union is silent regarding the increase in number of casual leaves. It should be increased to 12 i.e. one per month. This would enable the employees to meet their various social obligations. 8 casual leaves as at present is insufficient.
Please reply.

Till date there is no words from the mouth of Union leaders when the news of paltry hike to Rs.20000/- is being floated. What they have in their mind is still a suspense. They need not wait till the completion of electoral processes. Let them voice their opinion/protest over the adamancy of the Govt. not giving any benign consideration of their demands. Out with your words!!!!

Dear comrades
From the above news, it is clear that the govt employees are in for another disappointment. One can expect only a minimal hike in basic pay to Re.20000.which is peanuts!! We have no other go than strike. Let all of us prepare for a united struggle
