ASSESSMENT OF INDWF OF THE RECOMMENDATION OF 7TH CPC
Minimum Pay : Though the Commission
claims to have adopted Dr. Aykroyd formula in calculating minimum wages,
the rates of commodities based on which the recommendations of the
commission is made is significantly deviating from the rates mentioned
in the National Council of JCM proposal. The JCM proposal in this regard
should be reiterated. A comparison between existing and proposed VII
CPC minimum pay is given below. The retrograde nature of the
commission’s recommendations in this regard can by understood by this
table.
From the above picture, it is clear that the VII CPC recommendations are
not giving fair wages and the total pay increase is meager for next 10
years. Therefore, the minimum pay needs to be increased accepting the
proposal of National Council JCM
NEW PAY STRUCTURE : The present system of pay bands and grade pay
has been dispensed With and a matrix has been recommended. The New
system is an extension of system Of Pay Scales, albeit, with a
progressive Increment of 3% instead of fixed Increments. Unlike VI CPC,
Minimum pay fixed on promotion is at par with the initial pay fixed
direct recruits in the same grade. However, the fixation benefits
on promotion, particularly from Level 2 to 3, 3 to 4 & Level 4 to 5
is significantly less compared to VI CPC Structure. National Council JCM
demand of fixation benefit of two increments Should be reiterated or at
least 5% should be ensured. A comparison of the promotion benefit for
the after 10 years of service in their respective grades is given below.
