7th Pay Commission: Govt employees
to get revised allowances from Oct 1; committee to submit report this week
Government employees will have a
real festive bonanza this year. As per media reports, central government
employees will get the revised allowances as per recommendations made by 7th
Pay Commission from October 1.
The Committee on Allowances under
the chairmanship of Union Secretary, Finance (Expenditure) had on September 1
met with representatives of the Central government unions.
The committe is expected to give its
reports on revised allowance to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley this week.
On July 22, the Committee on
Allowances was set up to decide on revision of allowance as Justice A K Mathur
panel had earlier recommended abolition of 51 allowances and subsuming 37
others.
“The 7th Pay Commission examined a
total of 196 existing allowances and, by way of rationalization, recommended
abolition of 51 allowances and subsuming of 37 allowances. Given the
significant changes in the existing provisions for allowances which may have
wide ranging implications, the Cabinet decided to constitute a Committee headed
by Finance Secretary for further examination of the recommendations of 7th CPC
on allowances,” a press release issued by the government after the Cabinet
approval to Pay Commission recommendations had said.
