7th Pay Commission: Central govt employees expect Committee on Allowances report in February
After repeated rumours and statements on
when and what the Committee of Allowances under Finance Secretary will
roll out for central government employees, there is more news to fire
the expectations of government employees.
The Convener of National Joint Council
of Action (NJCA), in a circular to its members wrote on Thursday about
his recent meeting with the Cabinet Secretary said," The Cabinet
Secretary informed us that, pension issues have already been referred to
the Cabinet, and the report of the Committee on Allowances is likely to
be submitted in the next month".
The Cabinet Secretary is also reported
to have assured NJAC that the issue of Minimum Wage and Fitment Formula
is also being vigorously pursued by the government.
Cabinet Secretary is reported to have
told Mishra that the inordinate delay in allowances was because of the
various problems, but the intention of the government is very clear
that, they want to resolve the problems of the Central Government
Employees and advised the employees to have patience for some time and
given us an assurance that he would try to get resolved pending issues
of the Central Government Employees as early as possible.
