The 7th pay commission was set up by the UPA government in February 2014 to revise remuneration of about 48 lakh central government employees and 52 lakh pensioners.
The Commission headed by Justice A K Mathur proposed the highest salary at Rs 250,000 and the lowest at Rs 18,000. The commission also recommended 14.27 per cent increase in basic pay, 23.55% overall increase in salary, allowances and pensions. The increase in allowances was recommended 63% while pension was proposed to rise 24%. Apart from this, the Commission also recommended for abolition of some allowances and advances.
After receiving the 7th pay commission recommendations on November 19, government set up a 13 members secretary-level Empowered Committee or Secretaries group, headed by Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha, in consultation with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to process the pay panel’s recommendations that would put an additional burden of Rs 1.02 lakh crore on the exchequer.
An Implementation Cell has been created in the Finance Ministry which works as the Secretariat of the Secretaries group. The Secretaries group is likely to purpose 30 percent basic pay hike of central government employees and it’s also recommending for doubling of existing rates of allowances and advances.
