7th pay commission: Central govt employees to get single-tier pay band
New Delhi: With the delay in
implementation of 7th pay commission, every day the media gets abuzz
with some information on its recommendation and on the various ways in
which it can benefit crores of Central government employees.
Fresh in the buzz is that the review
committee, which was set up to study the recommendations of the 7th pay
commission is likely to propose a simpler pay structure.
This will make the pay band more
understandable. As per media reports the review committee has suggested
that the new pay structure be a single-tier band, where the component of
the salary will not be made up in two parts as is the practice — one is
the pay band and the other being the additional grade pay.
The government had set up the
high-powered panel headed by Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha to process the
recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission which will have bearing on the
remuneration of 47 lakh central government employees and 52 lakh
pensioners.
The government has earlier stated that
implementation of new pay scales recommended by the 7th Pay Commission
is estimated to put an additional burden of Rs 1.02 lakh crore, or 0.7
percent of GDP, on the exchequer in 2016-17.
