Government announces Seventh Pay Commission for central employees
PTI | Sep 25, 2013, 12.30 PM IST

NEW DELHI: Ahead of elections, the government on Wednesday announced constitution of the Seventh Pay Commission, which will go into the salaries, allowances and pensions of about 80 lakh of its employees and pensioners.

"Prime Minister Manmohan Singh approved the constitution of the 7th Pay Commission. Its recommendations are likely to be implemented with effect from January 1, 2016", finance minister P Chidambaram said in a statement.

The setting up of the Commission, whose recommendations will benefit about 50 lakh central government employees, including those in defence and railways, and about 30 lakh pensioners, comes ahead of the assembly elections in 5 states in November and the general elections next year.

The government constitutes Pay Commission almost every ten years to revise the pay scales of its employees and often these are adopted by states after some modification.

As the Commission takes about two years to prepare its recommendations, the award of the seventh pay panel is likely to be implemented from January 1, 2016, Chidambaram said.

Ahead of elections, PM gives nod to Seventh Pay Commission
ENS Economic Bureau : New Delhi, Wed Sep 25 2013, 22:34 hrs

Days before the Election Commission announces dates for assembly elections in five states including Delhi, the central government on Wednesday announced the setting up of the Seventh Pay Commission, which promises to lead to a sharp increase in the salaries of nearly 7 million central government employees and pensioners.

The report of the commission is, however, not expected until nearly two years after the Lok Sabha elections that are due before May 2014.

SC to Govt: Form separate Pay Commission for armed forces

"The Prime Minister has approved the constitution of the Seventh Central Pay Commission," said a statement by Finance Minister P Chidambaram.

"The average time taken by a pay commission to submit its recommendations has been about two years. Accordingly, allowing about two years time (from now is necessary) for the Commission to submit its report by January 2016," the ministry said in the release.

Express column: Govt is a growth multiplier

The Sixth Pay Commission was set up in 2006, and gave its report after 18 months in March 2008.

The award of the sixth commission cost the government an additional Rs 26,035 crore in the first year, as per its own estimate. It was one of the main reasons why the Centre missed its fiscal deficit target for 2008-09. For most employees, salaries went up by 60-80 per cent. The World Bank had described the award of the earlier Fifth Pay Commission as the "single largest adverse shock" to Indian public finances.

The release said that the names of the chairperson and members, and the terms of reference of the seventh pay panel, would be decided soon.

Sources said the chairperson was likely to be a member of the judiciary — in accordance with the practice of the last pay panel, which was headed by Justice B N Srikrishna. Finance Secretary R S Gujral, who is due to retire later this year, could be appointed member secretary, the sources said.

The Twelfth Finance Commission had advised the government not to set up a pay panel every 10 years, an advice the Thirteenth Finance Commission reversed. It said that the pay panel awards should be set up in time ensure their reports were implemented prospectively without having to pay out arrears, which dent government finances.

In FY 14, the Centre will pay its civilian employees Rs 1,24,657 crore in wages and allowances. Including the pension bill of Rs 70,726 crore, the total is about 12 per cent of total government expenditure for the year. State governments too adopt the pay commission's award for their employees. Several states are, however, yet to implement the award of the Sixth Pay Commission, saying they do not have the money.

Seventh Pay Commission for central employees announced
PTI | New Delhi | Updated: Sep 25 2013, 19:36 IST

In a sop to its employees ahead of the elections, the government today announced constitution of the Seventh Pay Commission to revise salary and pension for about 80 lakh staff and pensioners.

The recommendations of the new Pay Commission, which will be constituted shortly, will be implemented from January 1, 2016.

"Prime Minister Manmohan Singh approved the constitution of the 7th Pay Commission. Its recommendations are likely to be implemented with effect from January 1, 2016", Finance Minister P Chidambaram said in a statement.

The Congress and the employees union hailed the decision of the UPA-II government.

The union, however, demanded that the pay panel's award be implemented with retrospective effect from January 1, 2011.

Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma said: "It is the right of the employees to have Pay Commission ...when the recommendations come, the government will be able to implement (it). You do not do something for which you do not have money available."

The setting up of the Commission, whose recommendations will benefit about 50 lakh central government employees, including those in defence and railways, and about 30 lakh pensioners, comes ahead of the Assembly elections in 5 states including Delhi, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh in November and the general elections next year.

The government constitutes Pay Commission almost once in every ten years to revise the pay scales of its employees and often these are adopted by states after some modification.

As the Commission takes about two years to prepare its recommendations, the award of the seventh pay panel is likely to be implemented from January 1, 2016, Chidambaram said.

The sixth Pay Commission was implemented from January 1, 2006, the fifth one from January 1, 1996, and the fourth from January 1, 1986.

"Except for 6th Pay Commission, all Pay commissions are set up in 3rd year of a decade....The government should attract best of talents as its employees.

Pay Commissions help in attracting and also retaining best available talents," Congress general secretary in-charge for Communication Ajay Maken commented on the microblogging site Twitter.

He further said, "the NDA rejected the legitimate formation of 6th Pay Commission in 2003. Congress set up the 6th Pay Commission in 2005, now again the 7th CPC in 2013."

Even while welcoming the announcement, President of Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers, K K N Kutty, said "we have a reservation. It should be implemented with effect from January 1, 2011 as in the case of Central PSUs whose employee pay scales are revised every five years."

During the discussions with the government, Kutty said, the Confederation would press for merger of up to 50 per cent of dearness allowance with the basic pay, which is a prerequisite for setting up a pay commission.

The merger of DA with basic pay helps central government employees as certain allowances are paid as proportion of the basic pay and hence merger results in higher allowances.

Commenting on the decision, ICRA senior economist Aditi Nayar said, "it should be viewed in the light of the recommendation of the 13th Finance Commission that structural shocks like arrears related to Pay Commission awards should be avoided and the award should commence from the day of acceptance."

New pay commission is outcome of election force: Maira

Constitution of the 7th Pay Commission is an "election force", Planning Commission member Arun Maira said today.

"All government employees will want it while others may not... This is a big election force," Maira said on the sidelines of a FICCI organised seminar on India's Regulatory Framework here.

"It is an interesting situation since it is election time," he said when asked about the timing for it.

"You need to get elected otherwise you cannot do what you want to do," he added.

The recommendations of the Commission will benefit about 50 lakh central government employees, including those in defence and railways, and about 30 lakh pensioners, coming ahead of the assembly elections in five states in November and the general elections next year.

Government to set up first separate pay commission for Indian military

India's armed forces are likely to have their own pay panel for the first time since independence.

This comes as the government prepares to set up the seventh Pay Commission to decide on salary hikes for the 50 lakh central government employees, ahead of state polls and national elections due by May. The pay panel's recommendations are expected to be implemented from January 2016.

All three military chiefs had written to the Defence Minister last year, asking for pay parity with civilian employees. The armed forces have also been demanding the one rank one pension and one rank one pay rule.

They are also pushing for fixing rank pay and fixing pay structure for jawans and junior commissioned officers (JCOs).

In June last year, Defence Minister AK Antony had reportedly written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on "growing discontent among the services personnel due to the anomalies in payment and salaries."

Mr Antony had said that service personnel, ex-servicemen and pensioners were "equally agitated" and suggested that corrective action be taken or "things may take a bad turn."

A month later, the PM set up a four-member committee of secretaries, headed by the Cabinet Secretary, to look into the demands. The armed forces had then objected to the absence of military representation on the committee. Later, some of the anomalies were corrected, and the government had promised a separate pay commission for the armed forces.

Government salaries had been substantially hiked under the sixth pay commission headed by Justice BN Srikrishna. The revised pays fixed the salary of the Cabinet Secretary at Rs. 90,000 a month and Secretary at Rs. 80,000 per month, while making Rs. 6,660 as the minimum entry level salary.

Assocham calls decision on seventh pay commission 'out of turn'
By Deepti Rajan on Wed, 09/25/2013 - 14:45  

The Associated Chamber of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) has called the government's move to set up the seventh pay commission to look at increasing salaries of government employees 'out of turn'.

It warned that such a move would lead to pressure on the state governments and the private sector to increase salaries, leading to further price increases.

"The private sector too will be compelled to hike salaries-leading to overall wage cost to the economy, which in any case is grappling with the slowdown. The move is out of turn at this point of time," said D S Rawat, Secretary General ASSOCHAM.

The central government has about 80 lakh employees and ex-employees, and an estimated 2% of India's population relies on central government salaries and pensions for their livelihood.

Pay commissions are set up once every ten years.

Assocham, which represents the interests of the corporate sector, said the pay hikes would lead to inflation, increase fiscal deficit and be a drain on the government's already stretched resources.

"Since the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission would be enforced from January 2016, it is just about two years from now that the government will have to bear a huge additional burden. At that point of time, the exchequer will be bearing the full load of the Food Act and the other welfare schemes like NREGA – whose cost is bound to increase. Is it necessary that the governments all the time have to keep fighting the fiscal deficit issue?" the industry lobby asked.
