Sotry of Pay commission

A Pay Commission is a panel comprised of members of the Union Cabinet of India for hiking the salaries of government employees।

History

Since India's Independence, six pay commissions have been set up on a regular basis to review and make recommendations on the work and pay structure of all civil and military divisions of the Government of India

Sixth Pay Commission

In July 2006, the Cabinet approved setting up of the sixth pay commission. This commission has been setup under Justice B.N.Srikrishna with a timeframe of 18 months. The cost of hikes in salaries is anticipated to be about Rs. 20,000 crore for a total of 5.5 million government employees as per media speculation on the 6th Pay Commission, the report of which is expected to be handed over in late March/early April 2008. The employees had threatened to go on a nationwide strike if the government failed to hike their salaries. Reasons for the demand of hikes include rising inflation and rising pay in the private sector due to the forces of globalization

Sixth Pay Commission Recommendations were submitted to Govt. on 24-03-2008. Implementation is yet to be done.

It is generally said that the recommendations of sixth pay commission will increase the pay of babus more than three times but truly the salary will increase by 20 to 30% only. As and when the salary of government employees is increased the report of burden of R.... croes is always given. Whereas the salary of other classes such as PSU and or Bank etc. is increased no such figure is given. why. Pay Commission if nothing but a little step to rationalise the salary. This report can be prepared by a group of 6 members of C class employees in just one month for which government has created a large machinery and paying for that. why.
