ANSWER
MINISTER OF FINANCE (SHRI ARUN JAITELY)
A statement is laid on the Table of the House.
Statement Annexed with the Rajya Sabha Starred Question No. 244 for 09.08.2016 by Shri Ram Kumar Kashyap on Seventh Pay Commission Committee for Allowances
(a)
to (d): The Government has decided to implement the recommendations of the 7th
Central Pay Commission relating to pay, pension and related issues. The
resolution on Government decisions has been issued on 25.07.2016. The matters
relating to pay and pension, as decided by the Government, have been
implemented with effect from 01.01.2016. In view of the significant departure
from the existing provisions recommended by the 7th CPC and a number of
representations received from Employee Associations and other stakeholders in
this regard, the Government has decided that recommendations on allowances,
other than Dearness Allowance, be examined by a Committee comprising Finance
Secretary as Chairman and Secretaries of Home Affairs, Defence, Health and
Family Welfare, Personnel & Training, Posts and Chairman, Railway Board as
Members for examination before taking a final decision. The Committee has been
asked to submit its report within four months. This Committee has been
constituted on 22.07.2016 and the first meeting of the Committee has been held
on 04.08.2016.
