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 secretaries of Home, Defence, department of personnel and training, pension and PW, revenue, expenditure, posts, health, and science and technology. chairman of Railway Board, Deputy CAG and Secretary (Security) in the Cabinet Secretariat are also members of Empowered Committee of Secretaries headed by Sinha.
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.
KRISHNAKUMAR says
Hiking minimum pay to Rs.20000/- will not suffice! The original demand of the unions for Rs.26,000/- is the correct fixation,then multiplication factor, raising of pension multiplying factor from the present 2.57 to 3.42, other senseless recommendation of the pay panel such as abolition of advances and other allowances, etc to be reviewed. The entire report is not prepared by the Chairman but dictated by the govt. and prepared by his team. He has not given any thought over the justified representation on behalf of the employees,A perusal of the entire report reveals it is a one sided recommendation unbecoming of a Judge, equal to passing an exparte decree even if both sides are present

Minimum pay should be very near to the demand of the unions and the government should try to reduce the gap. Multiply factor should be more than three. Pension should be increased based on pay. Fixed medical allowance should be increased to meet out expenses.

When will the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission be paid to government employees?
The month of March is over and we are in April. (Fourth month).
The banks where pension is credited say they have not received any notification from the government so far.
It is requested that the government should not delay further and the notification sent to the banks so that employees receive the benefits of the 7 th Pay Commission.
