The Central Government is likely to
notify the the pay commission within the next two months The timing is in such
a way that it is well before the model code of conduct for the general
elections comes into force. Such a move will bring a positive mood for the
central government employees towards the government. Additionally the Center is
expected to give the panel enough time to prepare its report in the hope that
the government would be a lot more comfortable vis-a-vis the fiscal deficit by
the time the panel submits its report.Government employees have also asked the
Center to consider merging dearness allowance with their pay, arguing that the
Sixth Pay Commission, like the Centre, could not have anticipated the high
inflation that has eroded real wages over the last decade. The demand was made
at a preliminary meeting held between the department of personnel and the
employee representatives to discuss the proposed Seventh Pay Commission. It is
learnt that the present Secretary Expenditure, R S Gujral, is likely to be
appointed Member-Secretary of the 7th Pay Commission. The 1976 batch IAS
officer of Haryana cadre Gujral is retiring on November 30th 2013. Shri Gujral
was also Secretary ( Revenue) and having sufficient experience on functioning
of CBEC & CBDT.
