Cabinet clears pay hike for 1 crore central government employees, pensioners
Twitter : Arun Jaitley ✔ @arunjaitley Congratulations to central government officers, employees & pensioners on a historic rise in their salary & allowances through the 7th CPC.
New Delhi: In a bonanza for over 1 crore government employees and pensioners, the Cabinet today approved implementation of the 7th Pay Commission, which had recommended an overall hike of 23.5 per cent.
“Congratulations to central government officers, employees & pensioners on a historic rise in their salary & allowances through the 7th CPC (Central Pay Commission),” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley tweeted shortly after the meeting of the Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
It wasn’t however know immediately if the Cabinet had bettered the hike recommended in salary and allowances of nearly 50 lakh government employees and 58 lakh pensioners.
An official said the Cabinet has approved implementation of the recommendations from January 1, 2016.
The pay panel had in November last year recommended 14.27 per cent hike in basic pay at junior levels, the lowest in 70 years. The previous 6th Pay Commission had recommended a 20 per cent hike which the government doubled while implementing it in 2008.
After considering the increase proposed in allowances, the hike in remunerations comes to 23.55 per cent.
The 23.55 per cent overall hike in salaries, allowances and pension would entail an additional burden of Rs 1.02 lakh crore or nearly 0.7 per cent of the GDP, to the exchequer.
The entry level pay has been recommended to be raised to Rs 18,000 per month from current Rs 7,000 while the maximum pay, drawn by the Cabinet Secretary, has been fixed at Rs 2.5 lakh per month from current Rs 90,000.
The secretaries’ panel may have recommended raising minimum entry level pay at Rs 23,500 a month and maximum salary of Rs 3.25 lakh.
While the Budget for 2016-17 fiscal did not provide an explicit provision for implementation of the 7th Pay Commission, the government had said the once-in-a-decade pay hike for government employees has been built in as interim allocation for different ministries.
Around Rs 70,000 crore has been provisioned for it, the official said.

It is not from Rs 7000 to Rs18000.
But it is Rs.7000*2.25= Rs15750
The hike is from Rs.15750 to 18000.
Incredible. Commendable. Historical raise.

Worst increment in the history of pay comission.
It is 7000*2.25=Rs.15750 to Rs 18000.

Please dont accept this recommendations completely foolish we should unite and show our strength and fight with government and get our needs. we are worshiping our job sacrificing our lives our hardship with out leaves and taking punishment and building our nation but these government dont have sympathy on us giving highest salaries to haves and neglecting havenots why this partiality to us low paid employees. no pension no job after retirement to wards nothing simply work work work like ass and die. thats all. oneside no d.a only basic that is low giving in one hand and taking on other hand by deductions. my dear brothers dont vote this bloody fellows in future.
