BPMS Reply to the 7th Pay Commission Questionnaire
BPMS today published the answers to the questionnaire of 7th Central Pay Commission…
ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONNAIRE OF 7TH CPC
1 SALARIES
1.1
The considerations on which the minimum salary in case of the lowest
Group ‘C’ functionary and the maximum salary in case of a Secretary
level officer may be determined and what should be the reasonable ratio
between the two.
Answer 1.1:- We are of the
opinion that the consideration on which the minimum salary in case of
lowest Group ‘C’ functionary should be based on the norms set by the
15th International Labour Conference (ILC) with certain amendments.
Earlier Central Pay Commissions have kept in the mind that the minimum
salary is applicable at the time a person joins the Government which
will usually be at a young age when a person may be married and may not
have responsibility of parents or many children and accordingly, the
family unit for minimum salary can only be taken as three.
Contrary
to this, Indian family is considered strong, stable, flexible and
enduring and normally it consist of three to four living generations,
including brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and
grandparents living together in the same home. The official statistics
reveal that large segments of the elderly in India are illiterate, out
of work force, partially or totally dependent on others and suffering
from health problems or physical disabilities. Hence, a person when
joins the Government he has to look after his parents, wife, children,
brothers and grandparents also. The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents
and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 also compels him to take care of his/her
parents.
