With each passing day, the picture of higher monthly payout for central government employees, than what was recommended by the 7th Pay Commission, is emerging clear.
In a
meeting with the BJP's labour wing Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh,
Jitendra Prasad, Union Minister of State for Personnel, Public
Grievances, Pensions, told the delegation that government would
positively look into the demand of the central government employees.
"The minister said we will consider the proposal of minimum pay
of at 24,000”, Pawan Kumar, Regional Organizing Secretary told
Zee Media Bureau.
The
Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh is the largest central trade
union organization in India, and claims to have more than 10
million members.
The trade
union also sought increase in the Multiplication Factor and changes
in the HRA.
The 7th
CPC under AK Mathur had proposed Multiplication Factor of 2.57,
according to which the fitment of each employee in the new pay
matrix is proposed to be done by multiplying his or her basic
pay on the date of implementation by a factor of 2.57.
"We
are expecting the notification for implementation of the 7th Pay
Commission in the last week of June, and payout to begin in July",
added Kumar.
He further
assured that DoP&T is actively considering for grant of one time
relaxation for compassionate appointment in Ministry of Defence. He
added that Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh has ruled out
possibilities of strike to get a better salary revision under 7th Pay
Commission. "We are not part of those who say that we will
strike"to get a better pay hike, added Kumar.
As per
report, the National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) has decided to
serve indefinite strike notice to the Govt on 9th June 2016 and to
commence indefinite strike from 11th July 2016, if the Govt fails to
come to a negotiated settlement on 7th CPC related issues with the
JCM National Council Staff Side.
