Government to incur additional expenses
due to 7th Pay Commission :
Pay and Allowances of Central Government
employees will increase one lakh crore in the current financial year and
also projected to increase further due to recommendations of 7th Pay
Commission.
“Salary is a big question for
even profit-minded private concerns. It is therefore not surprising
that the employees of service-oriented Central Government departments
are so obsessed about their pays and allowances. For a few central and
state government organizations that rake in huge profits, salaries and
allowances to their employees is no big issue.”
A report on the spending habits of the
middle class was presented in the Parliament yesterday. According to the
report presented by the Minister of Finance, Arun Jaitley, “the salary
given to Central Government employees in the current financial year will
exceed Rs.1 lakh crore.” The amount is expected to rise further after
the implementation of the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission.
This could lead to a financial crunch.
According to estimates, there could be
an increase of 9.56 percent in the salary allocation for Central
Government employees, to Rs.1 lakh 619 crores. In the Financial Year
2016-17, after the implementations of the 7th Pay Commission’s
recommendations, it is very likely to increase to 15.79 percent and
touch Rs.1.16 lakh crores. During the Financial Year 2017-18, it will
further rise to Rs.1.28 lakh crores. Funds for pensioners will increase
to Rs.88,521 crores this financial year. During the Financial Year
2016-17, it is expected to be 1.02 lakh crores. By the Financial Year
2017-18, it would be Rs.1.12 lakh crores.
7th Pay Commission is expected to submit
its final report including the revised pay and pension structure for
Central Government employees and pensioners to the Central Government on
in the last week of September.
If everything goes as planned, the 7th Pay Commission recommendations will come into effect from 01.01.2016 onwards.
Meanwhile, there is no doubt in the fact
that employees are extremely curious to find out how much their
salaries would increase if the new Pay Commission recommendations are
implemented.
