7th Pay Commission – लाखों केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों के लिए सातवें वेतन आयोग की सिफारिशों पर नया वेतन पाने के इंतजार की घड़ी जल्द खत्म हो सकती है। मोदी सरकार अब इसे लागू करने के अंतिम चरण में पहुंच गई है।

सातवें वेतन आयोग की अनुशंसा के बाद उसपर विचार और लागू करने के तरीकों के बारे में रास्ता तलाशने के लिए ग्रुप ऑफ सेक्रटरी की अंतिम मीटिंग मंगलवार को हो गई। अब कमिटी अगले कुछ दिनों में अपनी रिपोर्ट दे देगी जिसके बाद कैबिनेट के सामने इसे मंजूरी के लिए रखा जाएगा।

7th Pay Commission – सूत्रों के अनुसार केंद्रीय कर्मचारियों की ओर से दबाव बढ़ाने और साल के अंत में यूपी, पंजाब सहित पांच राज्यों के विधानसभा चुनाव को देखते हुए सरकार जल्द इसे लागू करना चाहती है। सरकार उन्हें नाराज करना नहीं चाहती है।

ऐसा होने पर पहली अगस्त को इंक्रीमेंट के साथ मिलने वाली सैलरी में इजाफा तो होगा ही साथ ही इसमें जनवरी से अब तक का एरियर भी शामिल हो सकता है।

7वां वेतन आयोग एक जनवरी 2016 से लागू माना जाएगा. खबरों के अनुसार बढ़ी हुई सैलरी एक अगस्त 2016 को कर्मचारियों और पेंशनधारियों के खातों में जमा होगी. हालांकि अभी यह स्पष्ट नहीं है कि पिछले छ: महीने का पूरा एरियर एक अगस्त को ही मिल जाएगा या इसे किस्तों में दिया जाएगा.
