The Seventh Pay
Commission is likely to recommend the government to form a permanent pay panel
to give recommendations to the government from time to time on issues
pertaining to pay structure of central government employees.
The permanent pay
panel would recommend regular salary hikes in keeping with the rate of
inflation.
The formation of the
permanent pay panel would help raise the salaries and allowances of central
government officials and employees, an official of the pay panel said.
He added the
permanent pay panel would recommend salary and allowance hikes in keeping with
the rising inflation rate, which will be implemented by the government. “Then
it will not be necessary to form a new commission during the next several years
for central government employees.”
However, the Seventh
Pay Commission got one month extension to submit its recommendations.
Accordingly it is
expected to submit its report by the end of September. The time allotted for
the commission ends this month.
The government
appointed the Seventh Pay Commission on 28 February 2014 under chairman,
Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur, with a time frame of 18 months to make its
recommendations
“There are some data
points that are missing, which we hope to get by this month end. We are trying
to submit the report by 20 September,” the official of the pay panel also said.
The government’s
salary bill will rise by 9.56% to Rs 1,00,619 crore with the implementation of
the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission, according to a statement
tabled in Parliament by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on August 12.
The recommendations
of the Seventh Pay Commission, is likely to be implemented in April, next year.
