6th pay Commission

The 6^th Pay Commission is in the process of discussing pay aspects of the Central Government employees with various other organizations. We have received one such copy from our sources, which the employees can read and relax and sent your comments too. It may be noted that the pay structure is only a draft and no final decision has been taken on this revision:

ReportÂ submittedÂ toÂ theÂ GovernmentÂ onÂ March,Â 24,Â 2008.Â TheÂ 18Â monthÂ tenureÂ ofÂ the
Commission was till 4.4.2008.

Full text of the Report available at http://india.gov.in and http://www.finmin.nic.in

Salient features of the Report

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Implementation of the revised pay scales from January 1, 2006. Recommendations
relating to allowances to be implemented prospectively.

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â To remove stagnation, introduction of running pay bands for all posts in the Government
presently existing in scales below that of Rs.26,000 (fixed).

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Four distinct running pay bands being recommended - one running band each for all
categories of employees in groups `B' and `C' with 2 running pay bands for Group A
posts.

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â TheÂ Â Â postsÂ Â Â ofÂ Â Â SecretaryÂ Â Â toÂ Â Â GovernmentÂ Â Â ofÂ Â Â India/equivalentÂ Â Â andÂ Â Â Cabinet
Secretary/equivalent to be kept in distinct pay scales.

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â A separate running pay band, designated asÂ -1S scale, is not to be counted for any
purpose as no future recruitment is to be made in this grade and all the present Group D
employees not possessing the prescribed qualifications are to be upgraded and placed in
the GroupÂ `C'Â runningÂ payÂ bandÂ PB-1Â after theyÂ areÂ suitablyÂ retrained.Â Â Â GroupÂ D
employees possessing the minimum prescribed qualifications to be placed in PB-1 pay
band straightaway.

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Minimum salary at the entry level of PB-1 pay band to be Rs.6660 (Rs.4860 as pay in the
payÂ Â bandÂ Â plusÂ Â Rs.1800Â Â asÂ Â gradeÂ Â pay).Â Â Â Â Â MaximumÂ Â salaryÂ Â atÂ Â theÂ Â levelÂ Â of
Secretary/equivalent to be Rs.80000. The minimum: maximum ratio 1:12.

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Every post, barring that of Secretary/equivalent and Cabinet Secretary/equivalent to have
a distinct grade pay attached to it. Grade pay (being a fixed amount attached to each
post in the hierarchy) to determine the status of a post with a senior post being given
higher grade pay.

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The total number of grades reduced to 20 spread across four distinct running pay bands;
one Apex Scale and another grade for the post of Cabinet Secretary/equivalent as
against 35 standard pay scales existing earlier.

1
Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â At the time of promotion from one post to another, the grade pay attached to posts in
different levels within the same running pay band to change. Additionally, increase in
form of one increment to be given at the time of promotion. A person stagnating at the
maximum of any pay band for more than one year continuously to be placed in the
immediate next higher pay band without any change in the grade pay.

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Annual increments to be paid in form of two and half percent of the total of pay in the Pay
Band and the corresponding grade pay. The date of annual increments, in all cases, to
be first of July. Employees completing six months and above in the scale as on July 1 to
be eligible.

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â AnotherÂ formÂ ofÂ variableÂ incrementsÂ forÂ GroupÂ AÂ PayÂ BandÂ PB-3,Â whereÂ annual
increments in the band will vary depending upon the performance. Eighty percent or
more employees in the grade to be allowed normal increment at the rate of 2.5% with the
high performers (not exceeding 20 percent) during the year being allowed increment at
theÂ higherÂ rateÂ ofÂ 3.5%.Â Â Â GovernmentÂ advisedÂ toÂ extendÂ theÂ schemeÂ ofÂ variable
increments in running pay bands PB 1 and PB 2.

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The following scheme of revised pay bands is being recommended:-

Those who are operational in the clandestine and flamboyant private sector constantly gaze at the C.G. employees as starving dogs as we are remunerated on a very smaller amount. Howsoever, we put effort and hard work in our respective desk, but in view of the fact that we are paid a smaller amount, we encompass no esteem and high regard before the hush-hush private sector individuals. Now it is for the 6th Pay Commission to wipe down our tears, bestow us with a excellent package so that we acquire the admiration and veneration we necessitate forever. Please gratify us by removing the tag of sarkari babus from us and infuse in us the tag of imperative human resources.

Thanksâ€¦â€¦Mrs Elizabeth

Yes it is high time CG employeesâ€™ handsome salary is due. Last timesâ€™ Pay Commission report was only a flashy fixation written on paper. But when it materialised we did not see much difference in our pay. We look forward to a better package this time is as has been commended by Elizabeth.

The annual increments work out to (See section 2.2 of the Commission Report):
1S Annual increment @ 2.5%.
PB-1 Annual increment @ 2.5%.
PB-2 Annual increment @ 2.5%.
PB-3 Annual increments @ 2.5% & 3.5%.
PB-4 Annual increment @ 2.5%.

This means that the new pay (Revised Pay Band + Grade Pay) = (Annual Increment Percentage listed above) * Existing (Basic Pay + DA + DP )

Wonder who it is that is hoodwinking the public, the govt or the media ? 40% pay hike … yeah right!

haha Kevin you seem disappointed? We actually know of many people who are still keeping high expections out of this new commission..anything which pays more money free of cost is widely accepted right?
