Implementing the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission (7th CPC) is not going to be a cakewalk for the government.
The brewing discontent among st the central government employees is threatening to create a storm and disrupt the implementation process. The unions are asking around 44 percent hike on the basic minimum pay suggested by the 7th Central Pay Commission.
The 7th CPC had recommended the minimum pay at Rs 18,000 and the maximum pay at Rs 250,000, but the employee unions wants the minimum pay to be hikes from Rs 18,000 per month to Rs 26,000–a rise of around 44.4 percent.
The unions also said that the pay panel has recommended the lowest hike in basic pay since independence.
The unions argue that pay scales vary from states to states. They also want the minimum pay to be applied across all the states in the country.
The Central government employees’ unions have not only demanded to increase the minimum pay of central government employees, but also want government to review the salaries of central government employees after every 5 years instead of the current 10 years.
