Who is a Central Government Employee? – Definition given by 7th Central Pay Commission
Defining a Central Government Employee : The III CPC had
attempted to define who is a Central Government employee. It stated that
“All persons in the civil services of the Central Government or holding
civil posts under that government and paid out of the Consolidated Fund
of India.”
The Commission is in broad agreement with what has been stated in the III CPC Report.
For the purposes of its work, the Commission defines Central
Government employees as all persons in the civil services of the Central
Government or holding civil posts under that government and paid
Salaries out of the Consolidated Fund of India. This however, does not
include such persons appointed to serve Parliament or the Union
Judiciary.
The Commission has obtained data regarding 33.02 lakh Central
Government civil personnel, in Civil Ministries/Departments, Defence
(Civilians), Posts and Railways5. The analysis includes 0.77 lakh
personnel of Delhi Police, who are paid salaries from the Police grant
of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Views of Important Stakeholders on Central Government Personnel
The Commission has received representations/memoranda on issues that
broadly involve the strength, deployment and expenditure on Central
Government personnel.
Joint Consultative Machinery-Staff Side: On the size and nature of
government, the JCM-Staff Side has made the following submissions to the
Commission:
i. Majority of Central Government employees (88 percent) are either industrial or operational staff and therefore the contention that wage bill of the Central Government is for administrative purpose is ill conceived.
ii. Existence of a large array of personnel employed by the government through contract, pushing a major segment of government functions into informal sector.
iii. Expenditure on pay and allowances over the years as a percentage of revenue receipts and revenue expenditure has been falling.
