Recently the central government announced the extension of term of
7th pay commission by four months till 31st December 2015. By the time there
were news started coming about seventh Pay Commission that it would ask one
month extension to submit the report, Unexpectedly the central government
itself granted four month extension to 7th central pay commission
in its Cabinet Meeting held on 26th August 2015
One day before the announcement made by central government on
granting extension to the pay commission, according to PTI news report, Justice
A.K.Mathur, Chairman, 7th Pay Commission, said that by the end of September
2015 the Pay commission report would be submitted to the government.
Why the central government granted four month extension when the
commission itself if asked one month time?
What will happen if the 7th pay commission
submits its reports on 31st December 2015?
Before to answer that, It will be very
useful to know that what happened in sixth pay commission, after submission of
report and how much time it took to get announced the implementation of pay
commission recommendation.
·
The Sixth Central Pay
commission was set up by Union Cabinet of India on 5th October 2006. The
Commission, headed by Justice B.N.Srikrishna.The Other members of the
commission were Prof. Ravindra Dholakia, Mr. J.S.Mathur and Member-Secretary Ms
Sushama Nath, IAS.
·
The Pay Commission
submitted its report to Finance Minister P. Chidambaram on 24 March 2008.
·
The United Progressive
Alliance (UPA) Government headed by Manmohan Singh, approved the Sixth Pay
commission recommendations with some modifications. In the cabinet meeting held
on 14th August 2008, the Union Cabinet headed by Manmohan Singh gave its approval
for implementation of the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission.
·
It was announced that
the revised pay scales will come into effect from 1/1/2006 and revised rates of
allowances from 1/9/2008.
From the above reference it is known that after submission of
report it will take six month time to get its approval from Central Government
for implementation of pay commission recommendation.
The decision of extending the term of
seventh pay commission could be a major blow to central government employees by
the way as follows
1. The 7th pay commission has been made to
submit its report on 31st December 2015. The stipulated time is extended as 22
Months instead of 18 months for 7th pay commission to submit its report
2. As the central government would like to
ground upon the Precedents and it will take six month time from the date of
submission of report to announce its approval for implementation of 7th pay
commission recommendations
3. So the Cabinet approval for
implementation of 7th pay commission recommendation will be granted by the
Month of June 2016
4. Only the Revised Pay Scale will come
into effect from 1.1.2016
5. The revised rate of allowances will
come into effect from prospective date that is with effect from the day of
Order is issued.
6. So the central Government employees
will be losing the benefit of revised rate of allowances for the period of
six months , which they supposed to get from 1.1.2016, provided the order
for implementation of 7th pay commission will be issued on 1.7.2016.
