“The
meeting is expected to take place on Tuesday, June 14”, said V.P. Mishra,
President, Indian Public Service Employment Federation.
The meeting of the Empowered Group of Secretaries reviewing
the 7th Pay Commission, to finalize the payout to the central government
employees did not take place as scheduled earlier on Saturday.
The office of the Cabinet Secretary
dealing with 7th Pay Commission’s recommendation confirmed that the meeting did
not take place on Saturday. It did not reveal either when would the secretaries
panel meet again to give the final shape to the salaries of central
government employees.
“The meeting is expected to take place
on Tuesday, June 14”, said V.P. Mishra, President, Indian Public Service
Employment Federation. “When we met the Cabinet Secretary PK Sinha on June 3,
he told us that we would be meeting on June 14”, added Mishra confirming that
the 7th Pay Commission report is said to be finalised soon.
The AK Mathur led 7th pay panel
report, which was released in November, had raised the minimum pay of central
government employees to Rs 18,000 per month from currently drawn Rs 7,000,
while the maximum pay recommended was Rs 2.5 lakh per month from
Rs 90,000.
The employees unions decried the
wage revisions suggested by the Commission as the “the lowest in the post
independent history of the country”, and said a “meager rise of 14% alone was
recommended by the Commission to be effective for a long period of ten years.”
The Empowered Committee of
Secretaries, which was set up in January to review the 7th Pay Commission’s
recommendations, is expected to meet on Tuesday and is expected to finally
decide how the monthly package of central government employees will shape
up.
“We have give our recommendations,
and the Cabinet Secretary told us that we are looking into these”,
added Mishra.
“It (Empowered Committee of
Secretaries) is a divided house, but good number of people agree that what we
are saying has a point”, said KKN Kutty, President, Confederation of Central
Government Employees & Workers.
The Confederation is demanding the
minimum salary of Rs 26,000 per month. ” The Staff side had computed the
minimum wage as on 1.1.2014 at Rs. 26,000, The rates were taken on the basis of
the actual retail prices in the market as on 1.1.2014 (average prices of 8
Cities in the country) substantiated by the documentary evidence of Cash bill
obtained from the concerned vendors. As on 1.12016, the minimum wage work out
to Rs. 29339, rounded off to Rs. 30,000″, said the Confederation in its Charter
of demand.
It has done everything possible to
get the maximum payout under 7th Pay Commission. The Confederation has decided
to go on strike from July 11, if its charter of demand are not met by the
government, and has already given the strike notice to the Cabinet
Secretary.
There are nearly 47 lakh employees
and over 50 lakh pensioners in India on central government payrolls currently.

Pay Commission Latest News – AIRF confirms that Empowered Committee Meeting did
not take place
Internal meeting of group of
secretaries which was scheduled to be held on 11.06.2016 has been cancelled.
Meeting didn’t take place at all. Shri P.K. Sinha Cabinet Secretary is heading
the committee of Group of Secretaries.
On the clarion call of the National
Joint Council of Action (NJCA), against theretrograde recommendations of the
VII CPC, 11-point Charter of demands of the Central Government employees as
also non-settlement of long pending genuine demands of the Railwaymen, AIRF and
its affiliates organized huge demonstrations at all Zonal
Headquarters of Indian Railways on 9 June 2016. On this occasion the employees
of Indian Railway participated in mass demonstrations with full
enthusiasm with holding banners in hand and shouting slogans
for early redressal of their long pending genuine demands.
On the one hand AIRF and its
affiliates are fighting for the cause of Railway employees and on the other
hand rumour mongers are spreading false news through social media. Rumour
mongers are coming out daily with different kind of news and pay scales about
7th Pay Commission. They have even declared that government would take
a final call on 7th Pay Commission during internal meeting of group of
secretaries on 11th of June, 2016.
We will update on the issue soon.
Please don’t believe rumour mongers on What’sAPP, Facebook and other social
media sources.
We request all comrades to not to
believe such rumour mongers. These fellows have no benefits but to lighten
the feelings of agitated working class. AIRF urge comrades to be prepared
for Indefinite strike which is scheduled on 11, July 2016 at 06:00 AM.
