MINISTER OF FINANCE
(SHRI ARUN JAITELY)
A statement is laid on the Table of the House.
Statement Annexed with the Rajya Sabha Starred Question No. 244 for 09.08.2016 by Shri Ram Kumar Kashyap on Seventh Pay Commission Committee for Allowances
(a) to (d): The Government has decided to implement the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission relating to pay, pension and related issues. The resolution on Government decisions has been issued on 25.07.2016. The matters relating to pay and pension, as decided by the Government, have been implemented with effect from 01.01.2016. In view of the significant departure from the existing provisions recommended by the 7th CPC and a number of representations received from Employee Associations and other stakeholders in this regard, the Government has decided that recommendations on allowances, other than Dearness Allowance, be examined by a Committee comprising Finance Secretary as Chairman and Secretaries of Home Affairs, Defence, Health and Family Welfare, Personnel & Training, Posts and Chairman, Railway Board as Members for examination before taking a final decision. The Committee has been asked to submit its report within four months. This Committee has been constituted on 22.07.2016 and the first meeting of the Committee has been held on 04.08.2016.

Why Gov’t. is silent about minimum pay & fitment benefit. While giving answer to Rajya Sabha Q. No. 244, no comment has been about raising of minimum pay & fitment benefit. What we should understand from this.
muthaiah says
Government announced on 29 June that a committee will look into issues relating to allowances and submit its report in a”time bound manner” within four months! It took nearly a month to constitute the committee. So, four months from the day of announcement or from the day of constitution or from the day of the first meeting? Who will take responsibility for the delay in setting up the committee which is a routine matter? And, they abuse employees for inefficiency, red tapism, etc. None to question why the delay in setting up the committee? To delay the payment of HRA as long as possible?
Jagdish Chandra Ratnawat says
Pensioners which are Retaired Before 31.12.2015 Why not Benefit as per pay metric Table which are beneficial to Pensioners
Fitment formula directly multiply is losable
So Pension fix first in metric Should be there after fixation NEW PENSION FROM 1.o1.2016
For necessary Action
Thanks Regards
