Govt likely to hike minimum pay Rs 20,000; not to abolish any advance, allowance
New Delhi: The government is likely to give minimum basic salary Rs
20,000 of central government employees while the Seventh pay commission
recommended fixing the lowest at Rs 18,000 for the central government
employees on its report which was submitted to Finance Minister Arun
Jaitley on November 19 by Justice A K Mathur, who heads the seventh pay
commission.
An official of Expenditure Department Cell For implementation of Pay
Commission recommendations said the government wants to make up pay gap
between employees and higher officers and to hike Basic salary at least
Rs 20,000 from Rs 18,000 recommended by the Seventh pay commission,
The government has no intention to cut current allowances and
advances of any employees. the government motto is betterment must be
done by protecting the current advances and allowances.
The Seventh pay commission has recommended for abolition of various
allowances and advances like risk allowance, small family allowance,
festival advance, motor cycle advance, he added.
He also said the government may not suggest any curtailment of the
allowances and advances being now enjoyed by the central government
employees, and the gazette of the pay hike, which is coming within six
months, also would not do it.
The central government employees at various levels have been
complaining of the abolition of the various allowances and advances.
They also termed the Seventh Pay Commission report as a width pay gap
discrimination between employees and higher officers because in its
report, the Pay Commission has recommended to increase the pay gap
between the minimum and maximum from existing 1:12 to 1: 13.8
Every pay commissions made up pay gap between employees and higher
officers from second Pay Commission 1:41 ratio to Sixth pay commission
1:12.

Pay Commission recommendations not to upset fiscal roadmap: RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan
RBI
Governor Raghuram Rajan today said the Seventh Pay Commission
recommendations will not upset fiscal maths as additional expenditures
will be offset by either surplus revenues or expenditure cuts.
In the fifth bi-monthly monetary policy review for 2015-16, the Reserve Bank said the implementation of the Pay Commission proposals, and its effect on wages and rents, would be factored in by the RBI in its future deliberations.
"In the broad sense, yes there is going to be additional expenditure, but that will be offset presumably by either additional revenues raising or cuts elsewhere so that the fiscal consolidation path is maintained," Rajan said while addressing reporters after the monetary policy statement.
The 7th Pay Commission has recommended increase in remuneration of about one crore government employees and pensioners which is estimated to impose an additional burden of Rs 1.02 lakh crore on the exchequer in 2016-17.
The new pay scales, subject to acceptance by government, will come into effect from January 1, 2016.
Rajan said the government had anticipated the consequences of Pay Commission recommendations and hence the fiscal path is expected to be maintained.
"We don't feel there will be a significant effect on aggregate demand provided you maintain the fiscal path. Of course, investment in some ways may be (of) higher quality than certain kind of spending and therefore one would hope that you would uncover space elsewhere for the public investment which we really need," Rajan added.
In the monetary policy statement, RBI said the direct effect of Pay Commission implementation and its "effect on aggregate demand is likely to be offset by appropriate budgetary tightening as the government stays on the fiscal consolidation path".
The government had unveiled a fiscal consolidation roadmap in 2015-16 Budget under which fiscal deficit was to be brought down to 3.9 per cent of GDP this fiscal, 3.5 per cent in 2016-17 and 3 per cent by 2017-18, respectively.
Fiscal deficit in 2014-15 was 4 per cent of GDP.
RBI Deputy Governor Urjit Patel said the increase in the House Rent Allowance of government employees post Pay panel award would get reflected in the retail inflation data.
"But that is a one time level change and unless there are wider externalities, we will most likely look through that... The impact will be felt from April onwards for 6-8 months. You will see an index change, but that will likely be looked through by RBI," Patel said.
Several rating agencies and brokerages have said that a proposed 23.6 per cent hike in salaries and pensions of government employees could hurt India's finances.

Congress warns govt on pay commission report
Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president, Ajay Maken, on Sunday said the Congress party will strongly oppose if the 125 percent increase in DA (Dearness Allowance), which will be due on 1 January, 2016,
is not merged with the basic pay when the Central government implements
the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission for Government employees.
Maken said
while the 7th Pay Commission has increased the salaries of higher grade
officers by many folds, there will be no benefit for middle and lower
level employees.
Maken said
injustice was being done to the Central government employees, and the
Congress will fight safeguard their interest. He said the Union
government should protect the interests of the country and its people.
"The Congress party is with the Government employees in this matter",
Maken asserted.
Addressing two
meetings to discuss the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission at
Sadiq Nagar and R K Puram today, Maken said the Congress party will
spare no effort to protect the interests of the Government employees,
who are its "eyes, ears and brains", inside and outside Parliament.
He said it was
necessary to give a good deal to the Government employees to attract the
best brains to Government service, as the government needs the services
of the brightest, who come through tough competitions, for the best
interest of the nation.
He said it was
necessary to have the best brains in the government to ensure that in
these days of globalisation, the multi-national companies do not push
their way in and put such clauses, conditions and demands that would be
detrimental to the interest of the nation and its people.
Meanwhile,
reiterating his party's commitment to a strong Lokpal, Maken extended
support to the move to bring DDA and Delhi Police, which are controlled
by the Centre, under the purview of Delhi Lokayukta.
“As long as
this applies to public functionaries of departments of Delhi government,
DDA, MCD, NDMC, Delhi Police, and the Members of Parliament from Delhi
and Union and state ministers from Delhi pertaining to their actions
concerning people of Delhi, this provision in my opinion should be
allowed,” Maken said.
The Congress
leader, however, clarified that in the absence of any officially
circulated draft, he would like to reserve his final comments on
procedure and on other aspects of the Bill, till it is tabled in the
Assembly on Monday.
The draft
Janlokpal Bill, approved by the Delhi Cabinet, mandates the Lokayukta to
look into complaints of corruption in MCD, DDA and Delhi Police.
This move has
drawn flak from various quarters, including former AAP leader Prashant
Bhushan who said it has been done to “provoke” the Centre.
Maken said his
party had earlier also stated that under no circumstances it would
support the dilution of the Janlokpal Bill as introduced by the AAP
Government on February 13, 2014, in Delhi Assembly.
“Delhi
Lokayukta should be allowed to look into acts of corruption directly
impacting people of Delhi through the actions of MCD, DDA and Delhi
Police also. The Congress party would again like to re-iterate its
commitment for a strong Lokpal in Delhi,” he said.
“We believe in action and not just rhetoric. Delhi Government has wasted
precious 10 months and we hope it would now fulfil its very important
pre-poll promise by enacting a strong Jan Lokpal,” Maken said in a press
statement.
