New Delhi: The gazette
notification for implementation of Seventh Pay Commission recommendations is
likely to be issued later this week.
The Union Cabinet had
earlier cleared the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission on June 29 in
respect of the hike in basic pay and pension. However, the decision on Seventh
Pay Commission suggestions relating to allowances has been referred to a
Committee headed by Finance Secretary.
The gazette notification usually comes after 15 to 20 days of
Cabinet approval. For implementation of Sixth Pay Commission
recommendations, it was issued on 29th August 2008, after 16 days of
Cabinet approval. The Union Cabinet had given its approval for implementation
of the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission on 14th August 2008.
Recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission will benefit over
one crore government employees and pensioners.
The entry-level pay has been recommended to be raised to Rs 18,000
per month, from the current Rs 7,000, while the maximum pay, drawn by the Cabinet
Secretary, has been fixed at Rs 2.5 lakh per month from the current Rs 90,000.
