7th CPC Minimum Pay from Rs.18000 to Rs.21000 is just a rumour
Govt plans to increase 7th CPC minimum pay from Rs.18000 to Rs.21000 is just a rumour
Suddenly a news about increasing minimum pay from Rs. 18000 to Rs. 21000
is floating in some websites. All such news items come with the claim
of that ‘the sources close to Finance Ministry on condition of anonymity
told government Is planning to increase the minimum wage from Rs. 18000
to Rs. 21000. We are also flooded with queries of whether this news is
true or false.
As for as we are concerned we came to know that there was no such plan
under consideration of central government. Some websites might have
posted this news on vested interest or by misunderstanding the amendment
made in payment of wages act.
Recently a amendment was made in payment of wages act to increase the
wage limit to Rs.24000 for applicability of sub section 6 of section 1
of Payment of wages act 1936. (see the amendment)
This might have been misunderstood by some media that central government is going to increase minimum pay to Rs.21000.
We asked some leaders in NCJCM side, they told that they haven’t any
idea about the news and the authenticity of sources of that news.
