Government faces 7th Pay Commission’s pay gap problem

Government faces 7th Pay Commission’s pay gap problem

New Delhi: The Modi government’s decision to accord the 7th Pay Commission recommendation to hike salaries and allowances for central government employees has met with strong resistance from central government employees’ trade unions, including the RSS-affiliated Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS).

The Union Cabinet approved the recommendations made by the 7th pay commission on June 29, which is likely to see a higher increase in the basic pay by average 14.29 percent, which is the lowest in 70 years.

The minimum monthly pay has been increased from Rs 7000 to Rs 18,000.

The central government employees Unions leaders on the same day said the approved hike was lowest in many decades and were not in sync with inflation. They also said it is “totally disappointing and beats logic”.

Accordingly, they rejected the 7th Pay Commission approved by the government and threatened to go on indefinite strike from 6 am, 11 July.

The central government employees unions have been demanding Rs 26,000 as minimum pay instead of Rs 18,000 approved by the government based on the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations.

“Now, Basic pay Rs 7,000 plus dearness allowance (DA) Rs 8,750 makes the minimum wage Rs.15,750. They have increased it to Rs.18,000,” a central government employees’ union leader said.

“When you are doing away with DA in the new system, the hike may be just Rs.2,250,” another union leader said.

Under pressure from the unions, the government has indicated that it may increase the minimum pay of central government employees beyond the Rs.18,000 suggested by the 7th Pay Commission, seeking to defuse a strike threat.

Acoordingly, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley met with representatives of central government employees unions at Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s house for two hours till 11pm, a day after the cabinet cleared 7th Pay Commission award for its employees.

Jaitley, Rajnath Singh, Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu and Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha attended the meeting and assured unions leaders of central government employees that their demand would be looked into.

“The ministers called us and we have been assured that the minimum pay issue is going to be referred to one of two committees that the government is setting up to rectify any anomalies in the pay commission recommendation implementation,” Shiv Gopal Mishra, General Secretary of the National Joint Council Action (NJCA), a confederation of 3.3 million government employees, told reporters after the meeting.

The increasing the minimum pay will change the salary fitment factor. If the minimum pay is hiked from Rs.18,000 to even Rs.25,000, the fitment factor will be higher than the 2.57 times approved by the government based on the pay commission recommendations.

If the 2.57 fitment formula is tinkered with, then salary and pension in general for all central government employees will go up.

The Cabinet ditto with the 7h Pay Commission recommendations, the commission recommended for raising minimum pay to Rs 18,000 per month from current Rs 7,000 while the maximum pay, drawn by the Cabinet Secretary, was recommended Rs 2.5 lakh per month from current Rs 90,000. For the Secretaries it was recommended at Rs 2.25 lakh as against Rs 80,000 currently.

All pay commissions made up pay gap between lower paid employees and top officers from second Pay Commission 1:41 ratio to Sixth pay commission 1:12.

The first pay commission was recommended pay of the top bureaucrats 41 times higher than the government employees at the bottom. The top bureaucrats were given salary Rs 2,263 while the lowest earning employees got Rs 55.

Subsequent pay commissions reduced the ratio of pay between lowest earning employees and top bureaucrats from 1:41 in 1947 to about 1:12 in 2006.

The 7h Pay Commission increased the pay gap between the minimum and maximum from existing 1:12 to 1:13.8

The pay gap increases employee’s turnover and work-related illness, with all the associated economic consequences.

The bureaucrats with high pay are generally happier, healthier and a better place to live for almost everyone in them compare to the lower earning employees.

A pay gap is calculated as the ratio of the pay of the highest paid employee of an organisation to the pay of the average or lowest paid employee in that organisation.

Speculations were rife that the central government employees unions may defer the July 11 indefinite strike after government heeded to their demand of increasing minimum pay to over Rs 25,000 from Rs 18,000 fixed after considering the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission.

Under the fitment formula, the government multiplied the minimum wage of Rs 7,000 fixed in the last pay commission with 2.57 and arrived at a minimum pay of Rs 18,000 per month.

The employees are demanding for the fitment formula of 3.68, which will result in minimum monthly pay of Rs 25,760.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has already promised to consider to hike the minimum pay of central government employees beyond Rs 18,000.

7th Pay Commission: Central govt employees to take call on July 11 strike

7th Pay Commission: Central govt employees to take call on July 11 strike on Wednesday

New Delhi: Central government employees will decide on Wednesday whether to go on strike on July 11, in view of the government’s recent talks with the National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) on what they call a “meagre” pay hike.

The National Joint Council of Action , which represents 33 lakh Central government employees of Railways, Defence, Postal, Income Tax, Audit, Customs and Central Excise as well as other central government departments.

The Centre has fixed a minimum pay of Rs 18,000 in the pay hike approved by the Cabinet earlier this week. However, the central government employees are protesting the decision calling it a meagre rise in view of the price rise.

“Government has initiated talks with NJCA. We welcome it. But the decision regarding going on strike will be taken at the meeting of the council on July 6,” Convener of NJCA Shiv Gopal Mishra told PTI.
On June 30, the representatives of NJCA including Mishra were called for a meeting with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu and Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha.

“They have not assured us anything. They have proposed to refer the issue of minimum wage and fitment formula to a committee for reconsideration. The panel is expected to give its report in three to four months,” Mishra said.

Speculations were rife that the NJCA may defer the July 11 indefinite strike after government heeded to their demand of increasing minimum pay to over Rs 25,000 from Rs 18,000 fixed after considering the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission.

Under the fitment formula, the government multiplied the minimum wage of Rs 7,000 fixed in the last pay commission with 2.57 and arrived at a minimum pay of Rs 18,000 per month.

The employees are demanding for the fitment formula of 3.68, which will result in minimum monthly pay of Rs 25,760.

Finance Minister Promises 'Minimum Pay' 7th Pay Commission Hikes

Finance Minister Promises 'Minimum Pay' 7th Pay Commission Hikes

New Delhi: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has promised to consider to hike the minimum pay of central government employees beyond Rs 18,000, a day after the cabinet cleared 7th Pay Commission award for its employees.

Central government employees have been demanding hike in minimum pay since November 19, when 7th Pay Commission headed by Justice A K Mathur submitted its report to Jaitley.

The Finance Minister said he was not ‘rigid’ on the issue and the government will try to rectify some of employees’ demands including minimum pay.

Jaitley met with representatives of central government employees unions at Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s house for two hours till 11pm on Thursday night.

Jaitley, Rajnath Singh and Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu attended the meeting and assured unions leaders of central government employees that their demand would be looked into.

“The minimum pay of central government employees Rs 18,000 was made on recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission. But government will consider hiking it after discussions with all stakeholders,” he said in the meeting.

“Three ministers called us and we met them at Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s house late on Thursday for almost two hours. We have been assured that the minimum pay issue is going to be referred to one of two committees that the government is setting up to rectify any anomalies in the pay commission recommendation implementation,” Shiv Gopal Mishra, General Secretary of the National Joint Council Action (NJCA), a confederation of several central government employees’ unions, told reporters after the meeting.

The council claims a membership of 3.3 million, including the central government employees – Railways, Defence, Postal, Income Tax, Central Customs and Central Excise etc.

NJCA already have rejected Modi government’s overall 23.5 percent pay hike bonanza based on 7th Pay Commission recommendations and would go on indefinite strike from 6 am, 11 July.

They have been demanding Rs 26,000 as minimum pay instead of Rs 18,000 approved by the government based on the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations.

Mishra also said the Home Minister assured them that “their interaction with us has the blessings of PM Narendra Modi”.

“On minimum pay, we are for a negotiated settlement and it seems there is some consideration at the highest level,” he added.

The increasing the minimum pay will change the salary fitment factor. If the minimum pay is hiked from Rs.18,000 to even Rs.20,000, the fitment factor will be higher than the 2.57 times approved by the government based on the pay commission recommendations.

If the 2.57 fitment formula is tinkered with, then salary and pension in general for all central government employees will go up.

NJCA wrote to all central government employees unions that “government has proposed to refer the issue of minimum pay and fitment factor to a committee for reconsideration. The NJCA will await communication in this regard from the government”.

It said that it will meet on 6 July again to decide on the proposed indefinite strike from July 11.

Sub :- AGITATIONAL PROGRAMME ON 7TH CPC

Dear Brothers & Sisters,
Sadar Namaskar.

1. As we are aware that after a long deliberation between the stake holders and the Departments/Ministries, concerned Secretaries had submitted their recommendations on the 7th CPC to the Empowered Committee and after considering it, the Central Cabinet has accepted the recommendations of the 7th CPC on 29th June 2016 ignoring the submissions of this Federation.

2. The Govt has not enhanced the Minimum Pay from Rs 18000/- to 24000/-, Multiplying Factor from 2.57 to 3.42, rate of increment from 3% to 5%, non-merging of any of the pay scale of Group ‘C’, non-resolving the issue of MACP etc.

3. This has caused discontentment amongst the employees. It has to be kept in the mind that the then Defence & Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley and MoS of PMO Dr. Jitendra Singh had assured the delegation of BPMS/BMS to resolve the above issues in favour of the employees. But now the Govt has reneged to its promises.

4. In this situation, Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh, Govt Employees National Confederation & BPMS have decided to observe an agitational programme with immediate effect till 08th July 2016. In this agitational programme, Gate Meetings, Slogan shouting, Dharna, Procession, March, Demonstration at Main Gate etc will be organized as per feasibility. On the last day (08.07.2016) unions will submit a memorandum to respective Head of Departments & local Hon’ble Member of Parliament addressed to Hon’ble Prime Minister of India with a copy to BPMS.

5. Further, Shri Shiv Gopal Mishra, Convener, NJCA has requested to BPMS vide his letter (No NJC/2016/07th CPC dated 07.06.2016) to support in the proposed indefinite strike commencing from 11th July 2016. This Federation has considered the same and decided that all the affiliated Unions will support the indefinite strike from 11th July 2016.

We hope for full support and cooperation to give a great success to the programme.

With regards.

Brotherly yours,
(M P Singh)
General Secretary
