The central government has initiated process to set up seventh pay commission and proposal from the cabinet soon for constitute the 7th Pay Commission. This pay commission will revise the salaries of more than 50 lakhs central government employees and this process will start before May, 2014.

“The finance ministry is working out a Cabinet proposal for constitution of the 7th Pay Commission which could be taken up for consideration in the next couple of weeks,” a source said.

Earlier in the month of September 2013, the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has approved the pay commission set up and it was announced by the finance minister P Chidambaram. It is one of the most important announcement by the central government recently before the Lok sabha Elections 2014 i.e. General Elections of India 2014.

As per the announcement by the govt. officials, this pay commission have to submit their report within two years of time frame and it will be implemented from 1st January, 2016. We have already predicted the pay scale for all pay band in the upcoming 7th Pay Commission. There was no cabinet meeting held whether to announce the seventh pay commission or not.

As per the past practice and tradition, generally pay commission is headed by the retired Supreme Court judge and members of the pay commission are experts from the various sectors.

It is also expected that Government will also announce and approve some benefits for the pensioners.

This is one of the most important decision taken by the UPA Government which will benefit them in the upcoming Lok sabha Polls 2014.

Deputy Secretary (JCA)

Record Note of the meeting held Qn 24.10.2013 at 3.00 PM to discuss the possible Terms of Reference (ToR) for the 7th CPC with the representatives of the Staff Side of JCM

A meeting was held on 24.10.2013 at 3.00 PM in Committee Room No 190, North Block under the chairmanship of Dr S.K.Sarkar, Secretary DOP&T to discuss the possible Terms of Reference (ToR) for the 7th Central Pay Commission, which is going to be set up by the Government, with the representatives of the Staff Side of JCM. List of Participants to this meeting is at Annexure I.

At the outset, Secretary (P) welcomed the Staff side representatives and thanked them for attending this meeting on a short notice. He indicated that since this meeting has been convened to discuss the possible Terms of Reference (ToR) for the 7th Central Pay Commission, he hoped that the discussions would remain so focused.

Sh Umraomal Purohit, Secretary, Staff Side, in his opening remarks stated that it would have been preferable that there was a proposal from the official side on this issue to the Staff Side and then the same could have been discussed further in a meeting where the Finance Secretary could also be invited. He then pointed out that the new concept of Pay Bands and Grade Pay structure as per the 6th CPC, which changed the pay structure in Government, had resulted in a new experience which was mixed. He stated that though the 6th CPC did not recommend merger of DA with Pay, they could not have anticipated such a high rate of inflation which resulted in such high rate of DA; the rate of Dearness Allowance presently was 90% and due to high inflation there was a need to consider merger of a part of DA with Pay. He also raised the question of Interim Relief pending finalisation of 7th CPC recommendations. Shri Purohit further mentioned that anomalies of 6th CPC should be resolved on priority before 7th CPC. He also suggested that there must be some machinery which should resolve anomalies within one year of implementation of CPC report.

M.Raghavaiah, while thanking the Chairman raised the issue of anomalous situations which had arisen due to the new concept of Pay Bands and Grade Pay structure as per the 6th CPC. He suggested that the Finance Ministry should look into this aspect as to how anomalies cropped up due to this and how these can be avoided in future. He was of the view that the anomalies cases which stand referred to the Ministry of Finance need to be cleared. He referred to anomalies relating to MACP scheme vis a vis ACP scheme and resolution pending thereon required to be resolved as already discussed in the Joint Committee meetings on MACPS. He also demanded that there should be merger of DA with Pay as was agreed to in 2004. He also
pointed out that the Railway Ministry’s proposals on 6th CPC related matters presently pending with Ministry of Finance should be cleared.

The other representatives from Staff Side raised the following issues

1) Entry level pay to promotee employees at par with that admissible to Direct Recruits as was agreed in the National Anomaly Committee;

2) One of the ToR should be to set up a special bilateral mechanism to sort out anomalies arising out of Pay Commission recommendations;

3) Professional approach should be adopted in dealing with peculiarities concerning Railways and Defence civilian employees;

4) There should be parity between pre & Post CPC retirees for the purpose of pension etc.;

5) Cadre review/restructuring proposals should be delinked from the 7th CPC so that these are not delayed;

6) Wage Revision should be effective after every 5 years as in the case of PSUs;

7) If there is going to be separate CPC for the Armed Forces as had been reported in media, or if there is a representative of Armed Forces in the 7th CPC then there should be a representative of Labour in the CPC;

8) CPC should not go by “Central Secretariat” structure to make its recommendations which does not take into account specific complexities in large Government organisations like Railways, Postal Department and Defence establishments.

9) Allowances should be enhanced concurrently with the pay consequent upon Pay commission implementation.

10) Supreme Court has upheld that MACP should be in the hierarchy of the Post and also for grant of NDA in 7th CPC rates w.e.f. 1/4/2007. These judgments should be implemented to all similarly placed employees.

11) The Secretary Staff side in the end requested that a copy of Terms of Reference as proposed by the Ministry of Finance may be circulated and then another meeting with Secretary, Department of Expenditure and Department of Personnel & Training be arranged to discuss & finalise the Terms of Reference of 7th CPC.

In his concluding remarks, the Chairman thanked the participants for their views and requested the Staff Side that they may send their suggestions in writing also.

A request to 7th CPC regarding modification of MACP.

Of all the beneficiable plans given to Central Government Employees ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION SCHEME (ACPS) is at the foremost of it. Numerous employees have got retired without any promotion  even for 20 years.In this manner a promotion is given to an employee who is without any upgradation in his post for 12 years.Followingly if his post is stagnant without any promotion for 24 years he receives another upgradation.The above plans(ACP) had been put forth in the type 12-24-36 which was most profitable for thousands of employees to say the least.

Now according to the recommendations given by the 6th Central pay commission the ACP has changed to MODIFIED ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION (MACP)in the type of 10-20-30. This increasing the beneficiaries to a great extent.The Central Govt Employees are in great debt to the Federations and Associations who had toiled  for begetting these plans.

Though thousands of employees have been benefited by these plans,even then there are certain drawbacks in these.Taking in to consideration, these deficiencies along with several others the National Anomaly Committee which was solely organised for this purpose had successfully solved some problems thus lending a helping hand to all the Central Govt Employees.Moreover several other anomalies were on their way to be solved

In this moment ,the Central Govt has announced the 7th PAY COMMISSION.The most plausible solution should be that all the draw backs, problems and pending solutions should be solved before the 7th Pay Commission had been put in to practice.When the problems had not been solved and shifted to some other clan which is no way similar to this,the people who are linked would be made to endure a lot of stress .(For example LDC-UDC ISSUE)

The 7th pay commission without hindering the well being of anybody concerned may  put forth the SERVICE BASED CAREER PROGRESSION.

MACP'S 10-20-30 is a very long year spanning one.Definitely this should be shortened.Initially 9 years should be taken in to account and after that  the year gaps should be planned in a receding manner.

For example
First career progression in 9 years
Second career progression in 8 years (9+8=17yrs)
Third career progression in 7 years (9+8+7=24yrs)
 Fourth career progression in 6 years (9+8+7+6=30yrs)

If the Service Based Career Progression is  activated in the above manner it would be a great gift to all Central Govt employees. An employee would have to face many problems in his latter years such as higher studies of his kids,the marriage of his daughter,his own health and also his savings for his post retirement.In this condition the service based Career Progression may  decrease the burdens of the employees.

There is no doubt if the employees who are predominantly the supporting  pillars of the Central Govt are fully content and satisfied,all the central govt sectors would be refreshed and all plans would be made successful to a large extent.

Unorganised workers' body opposes 7th pay commission

AURANGABAD: Opposing the central government's recent decision of setting up seventh pay commission for central government employees, Samajwadi Jan Parishad - a body of unorganised sector workers - today said that the government should rollback the announcement.

The organisation staged demonstrations in front of district collector's office here in the city. Addressing the gathering, its leader and social activist - Subash Lomte - said that the government had obliged only 7% of the total employees in the county working under its umbrella. "But it has nothing to offer to the remaining 93%," he said.

"There several instances where unorganised workers are being paid Rs 2,500 per month despite working for more than seven to eight hours a day," he said. He said that all the unorganised workers' salaries should be at par with class four employees of the central government.

2) Members of the Commission should have a representation from each Pay Band

3) Commission should have one Member each from Defence , Railways and Postal

4) It should be assisted by a Consultative Body of Ex-Defence and Railway Personnel to project the special conditions prevailing there in – being the largest employers.

Purpose and Principals of Pay Determination

VII PAY COMMISSION shock for the states.

On September 25, the government of India announced the constitution of the seventh central pay commission. While the central pay commission’s (CPC) recommendations are applicable to central government employees’ salaries, the salaries of all state government and local bodies (municipal corporations, etc) employees are revised after central government’s acceptance of recommendations of the CPC.

The first CPC was constituted in May 1946. It was based on the idea of giving the employees living wages that suit the conditions of the day, qualified by the condition that in no case should be a man’s pay be less than a living wage. The second pay commission stated that the pay structure and the working conditions of the government employees should be crafted in such a way that efficient functioning of the system is ensured by recruiting persons above or with a minimum qualification.

Cost of living and type of economy are two major factors behind the pay commission award. India is moving towards a market economy and the government has to compete with the private sector to attract talent, and hence, offer competitive salaries.

The government generally accepts all recommendations of pay commissions regarding increase in salaries. However, it skirts hard decisions such as down-sizing/right-sizing of the government, linking the efficiency/productivity of employee with future pay increase/promotions, etc. India is facing huge challenges of skilled manpower in various sectors, viz. education, technology, etc. What we need is right-sizing of the government to provide crucial services efficiently to the citizens.

Some states revise salaries of their employees on the basis of the recommendations of separate commissions/committees formed by them while some use the CPC recommendations. Salary revision of state government employees, generally, takes place with a lag from the revision of central government employees’ salaries. Two states, Karnataka and Kerala, follow schedules different from the central government’s for revising employees’ salaries, through their own salary revision committee/commission. Karnataka revised salaries of its employees on April 1, 2012; Kerala revised them last on July 1, 2009.

The salary revision, both at the central and state levels, takes place without factoring in the governments’ ability to absorb shocks of wage increase and the fiscal implications associated with it. Ceteris paribus, an increased wage bill enlarges the deficit and affects inflation, interest rates and growth prospects adversely. A higher wage bill increases government’s committed expenditure, which is impossible to adjust even in the medium-term. Increased consumption demand provides some support to growth. Generally, capital expenditure becomes the soft target of fiscal adjustment, affecting infrastructure creation and medium- to long-term growth prospects of the economy. Higher borrowing to finance current consumption and deficit leads economy to a structural weakness.

Salary revision based on the recommendations of the pay commissions in the past have taken place with retrospective effect (e.g., January 1, 1996, for the sixth CPC). Employees are paid arrears for the period between the date of salary revision and the date of first draw of the revised salary. This exerts pressure on the public finances of both central and state governments. One way of limiting the pressure would be to revise salaries frequently rather than every 10 years. The fourth CPC even recommended that there should be a permanent machinery to undertake periodic review of pay and allowances of central government employees. The government considered, but did not accept, this proposal.

Data on wage bill/salary of the central government is not available on comparable bases. However, CAG state audits and RBI’s annual publication, State Finances—A Study of State Budgets, make available some data on the wage bills of the states. RBI, in the same publication, provides annual data on non-developmental revenue expenditure under six different sub-classifications. The non-developmental revenue expenditure on organs of state, fiscal services, administrative services and pensions is taken as a proxy for a state government’s wage bill. The advantage of using this data is that it’s available for a fairly long period (1980-81 onwards). This period takes into account three different CPC awards—that of the fourth, fifth and sixth.
Salary revision has led to a rapid increase in the state governments’ wage bills in three previous instances. The average growth of states’ wage bill during 1987-88 to 1989-90 jumped to 21.3% from 13.5% during 1984-85 to 1986-87. The revenue account showed a deficit of 0.5% of the GDP from a surplus of 0.1% and the average fiscal deficit increased to 2.9% of the GDP from 2.8%. This clearly suggests capital compression for fiscal adjustment.

The fifth CPC award came at a time when economic growth was sound—the average growth during 1994-95 to 1996-97 was 7.2%. The average growth of the states’ wage bill during 1997-98 to 1999-00 shot up to 23.4% from 13.3% during 1994-95 to 1996-97. The average economic growth during 1997-98 to 1999-00 declined to 6.2% and revenue deficit ballooned to 2.1% of the GDP from 0.8%. While the revenue deficit deteriorated by 1.9 percentage points (pp) of the GDP, the deterioration in fiscal deficit was lower at 1.2 pp, suggesting adjustments in capital expenditure to accommodate salary revision and minimise fiscal slippage. A study by the World Bank concluded that the salary revision was mainly responsible for deterioration in the states’ fiscal profile.

The average growth three years before the sixth CPC was good (at 8.5% between 2006-07 and 2008-09). It fell marginally to 8.0% during 2009-10 to 2011-12. While the central government employees’ salaries were revised in 2008-09 for the state governments’, it started from 2009-10. The average growth of states’ wage bill during 2009-10 to 2011-12 was 20.8% vis-à-vis 16.4% growth during 2006-07 to 2008-09. The states’ aggregate revenue account showed a deficit (0.1% of GDP) during 2009-10 to 2011-12 from a surplus of 0.6% during 2006-07 to 2008-09. While the revenue balance deteriorated by 0.7 pp of GDP, the deterioration in fiscal deficit was at 0.3 pp, suggesting adjustment in capital expenditure to accommodate salary revision.

Some of the states severely impacted by the last salary revision (in line with the recommendations of the sixth CPC) were Assam, Bihar, Kerala, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. Assam, Bihar, Kerala, Punjab and West Bengal have relatively weaker fiscal profile. Based on the experience of the last pay revision and the present fiscal situation, these states are more vulnerable and will find it difficult to absorb the adverse shock of a new pay revision. However, based on limited information available on the seventh CPC, the time lag between the effective date and implementation of the award will be less leading to a lesser amount of arrears compared to past salary revisions. To a certain extent, this would reduce adverse impact on state finances.

Column: Rationalise bureaucracy, then wages

India needs a skill-based wage system of govt employees, not a 1:12 ratio between lowest and highest paid ones

Why don’t governments learn from experience/mistakes; why are they prisoners of precedent; why do vote bank considerations invariably override national/economic interests? The government’s announcement of setting up the Seventh Pay Commission throws up these very thoughts. The government has blindly followed the past practice of successive governments since 1947 when the First Pay Commission was set up. The Indian economy has undergone a sea change since then—structural transformation of the economy, technological revolution, global integration, rising governance, skill and knowledge deficits and, above all, transformation from a public-sector-led growth model to a private-sector-led growth model. Should the wage policies for government employees not capture these changes and address the challenges that we are facing?

For an objective analysis of the government’s decision we need to understand the political, fiscal, governance and economic dimensions.

Much has been commented upon on the timing of the announcement and its political ramifications. Political leaders have lost no time in claiming credit for the announcement to curry favour with their perceived vote bank. Pay commissions, in the past, have been set up after every 10 years and the 10-year period after the Sixth Pay Commission would be over by 2015. The hurry shown at this juncture needs to be contrasted with the thinking in the NDA government in 2002-03 to delay the announcement because of the grave fiscal situation facing the government. One can only wish that the alacrity shown by the government to make this announcement were matched by similar urgency in dealing with other problems facing the economy. I remember that in 1998 when the recommendations of the Fifth Pay Commission were being considered, the then finance minister was opposed to the large pay-outs involved without ensuring staff rationalisation and, as a protest, he went to the extent of missing the Cabinet meeting in which the decision to accept the recommendations was taken. Given the impending elections it would perhaps have been prudent that the government that seeks to reap the political benefits of the decision should also be the government that has to deal with its fiscal and economic consequences.

It is unfortunate that political expediency considerations have prevailed over the government’s commitment towards fiscal consolidation. The government’s five-year fiscal consolidation roadmap aims to bring down the fiscal deficit in 2016-17 to 3% of GDP. How can one reconcile commitment to rein in fiscal deficit with the large outgo that the Pay Commission recommendations will entail? The central pay commissions also lay down a benchmark for salaries and pensions for PSUs, state governments, universities, aided institutions, cooperative societies and so on, who follow the same pay structure without any consideration of their capacity to pay. The huge consolidated fiscal burden can only be at the cost of investment, poverty reduction and growth.

Having said that, it, nonetheless, needs to be appreciated that expenditure of 12% of the budget on employee wage bill is not high by global standards. It is the skill mix, efficiency and productivity of the employees that is a problem. Painting all categories of government employees—whether they are scientists, teachers, doctors, defence and security forces, generalists, railway employees, Group C and D staff—with one brush and placing them in the ambit of a single pay commission creates enormous anomalies and creates a premium on mediocrity over merit. We need a skill-based wage system of government employees instead of striving for an artificial ratio of 1:12 between the lowest and highest paid employee.

Many government reports, including that of the recent Administrative Reforms Commission, have highlighted the various shortcomings of our administrative structure. The large skill and knowledge deficit and preponderance of an unskilled workforce is not suited to meet the challenges of a diversifying and complex economy. Many ministries and agencies that were needed in early stages of our development with a commanding roll for the public sector have outlived their utility. At the same time, there are newer emerging areas, especially in regulations for growth of a healthy private sector, which require government’s focus. The central government continues to have large outfits in sectors which are state subjects leading to avoidable duplication, inefficiencies and costs. The Expenditure Reforms Commission set up in 2000 had given many useful suggestions for right sizing the government structure. A thorough exercise to rationalise the bureaucracy should have preceded setting up of a new pay commission. This subject should now form an integral part of the commission’s Terms of Reference.

It is not that successive pay commissions have totally side-stepped the non-fiscal governance-related issues. Governments have shown promptness in accepting the pay-related recommendations but have generally ignored other recommendations. For example, the 5th CPC had recommended slashing of government employees by 30%, delayering the system by reducing number of scales from 51 to 34; 6th CPC had proposed a liberal severance package, corporatisation of Indian Railways, abolition of Indian telecom service, reducing the number of government holidays to 3, rationalisation of overtime and bonus policies. None of these recommendations have seen the light of day.

There is another major economic consequence of the pay commissions that has not got sufficient attention. Government employees constitute not more than 5% of the total workforce in the economy. The 95% workers outside the government sector are paid wages based on market considerations and capacity of the employers to pay. A large number of government employees in the middle and lower rungs are drawing wages much higher than their counterparts in the private sector and are also enjoying benefits of job security and retirement benefits. Such a large mismatch in the wage structure has the effect of spoiling the job market for the private sector. Small businesses and self-employment ventures are unable to pay salaries of R25,000-plus to drivers and R30,000-plus to office assistants etc. As a result, rising public sector wage bill not only has adverse consequences for the exchequer but also leads to queering the pitch for private businesses.
Governments need to factor in these economic consequences while determining public sector wages. It can make a beginning by including this item as one of the Terms of Reference for the Seventh Central Pay Commission.

Having taken a populist decision to set up the pay commission, the government should carefully craft its Terms of Reference so that a more balanced view on wage policy for public employees is taken and pay increases are used to leverage governance reforms.

The outcome of announcement on setting up of 7th Pay commission

The 7th pay commission announcement was really unexpected surprise at this juncture for everyone. At the time of facing financial crisis, no one has expected that the central government would announce its decision on constituting 7th pay commission soon. Really all the central government employees are excited about this when the central government made this announcement. Even all the central government employees’ federations were not aware of this move of the central government in advance.

Though all the trade unions and its federations started adopting resolution on demanding the central government to constitute 7th pay commission in its annual conferences, the federations have no faith on central government would take up this demand seriously. As speculated by news media, there might be some political reasons involved in this decision. But the central government has to fulfill the commitment made by the Finance Minister on 25/9/2013 on the issue of setting up of 7th pay commission. Through this announcement the central government made all the 50 lakh central government employees and 30 lakh pensioners happy. But this is a win-win situation for both, the central government and its employees. Apart from the financial constraint, by announcing 7th pay commission the central government almost settled three core issues of trade unions indirectly. Settled in the term, it has been made that this demand would not be raised again.

1. Merger of 50 % Dearness Allowance with Basic Pay.

After the central government’s approval for setting up of seventh pay commission, this demand would be considered loses its merits. So it is feared that this demand may not be taken up by the government for consideration.

2. The long pending anomalies discussed in the National Anomaly Committee to be settled.

The National Anomaly Committee meeting may not take place anymore, as all the anomalies pending with national anomaly committee would be forwarded to 7th Pay Commission.

3. Strike Ballot on Demands declared by Railway and Defence Federations

After this announcement, the proposed strike ballot may be withdrawn and strike action if any called by federations will be considered as against the interest of central government employees and the nation.

7th CENTRAL PAY COMMISSION EXPECTED PAY SCALE ?

 People may think that the babus again started to make voice over pay revision and next pay commission or 7th Pay commission. There is a saying that “The crying baby gets the milk”. The need makes the man to act.

One should try to understand the fact that being a government servant one can witness a considerable pay hike at least twice or thrice of his/her entire service period. Because, other than promotion, only the pay commission recommendation will give them considerable pay hike. But it takes place once in ten years. Now a days a government employee can render service 20 or 30 years only due to non availability of employment opportunity in government service below the age of 25. So there is no need to be get annoyed by hearing the voice for seventh pay commission from central government employees. Because constituting next pay commission is for nothing but to review the salary of the govt. servants with the current economical condition of the country.

How the pay of a govt. employee had been fixed at the beginning of the Independence India.

Till now there are six pay commission had been constituted to review and recommend pay structure of central government employees.

All the six pay commissions have taken many aspects into consideration to prescribe the pay structure for government servants.

In the first pay commission the concept of ‘living wage’ was adopted.

In second pay commission it had been reiterated that the pay structure and working condition to be crafted in a way so as to ensure the effective functioning of government mechanism.

The third pay commission adopted the concept of ‘need based wage’

The Fourth CPC had recommended the government to constitute permanent machinery to undertake periodical review of pay and allowances of Central Government employees, but which got never implemented.

In Fifth pay commission all federations demanded that the pay scale should be at par with the public sector. But the pay commission didn’t accept this and told that the demand for parity with the Public Sector was however difficult to concede as it felt that the Job content and condition of service in the government and pulic sector not necessarily the same. There were essential differences between the two sectors.

The Sixth Central Pay Commission, claimed that it had not only tried to evolve a proper pay package for the Government employees but also to make recommendations rationalizing the governmental structure with a view to improve the delivery mechanisms for providing better services to the common man

What about seventh pay commission?

Generally every pay commission, before recommending a pay structure, it used to analyze all the aspects including the economic situation of the country, financial resources of the government, comparison with the public sector, private sector and state government pay structure etc. So it is very much clear that Pay Determination is very complicated and sensitive task. Without any doubt every one accepts that this is very challenging task too. In order to determine the new pay structure the pay commission has to go through voluminous data consisting current economic condition, strength of the work force and working condition etc. In the meantime, if one tries to suggest or comment about 7thy pay commission pay scale or about what the seventh pay commission pay scale would be, it will not get much importance.

But when we come across all the recommendations of six pay commissions, we observed an interesting factor which is common to all the pay commission recommendations, particularly in the matter of percentage of increase in the pay. Average 3 times increase in the pay was recommended by each pay commission and it was accepted by government and implemented.

Obviously it is simple thing, we can say it a mathematical coincidence that we have in common in all previous pay commission, but we cannot neglect this. Because it was there, every time it is noticed that the revised pay was approximately three times higher than its pre revised pay. Apart from all the factors which has been used to determine the pay revision, we can use this simple formula ‘common multiplying factor’ to know the 7th pay commission pay scale . If next pay commission prefer to continue the same running pay band and grade pay system for seventh pay commission also, the pay structure may be like the following projected figures given below, using common multiplying factor ‘3’. The Following is only the projected figure using common multiplying factor ‘3’...
