New Delhi, Mar 20: The government has rejected reports on an increase in minimum pay and fitment factor beyond the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission or 7th CPC, saying it was not considering salary hike for its employees. There have been reports that the government was mulling to raise minimum pay and fitment factor beyond the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission.

Samajwadi Party MP Neeraj Shekhar sought to know “whether Government is actively contemplating to increase minimum pay from Rs.18,000/- to Rs.21,000/- and fitment factor from 2.57 to 3, in view of resentment among Central Government employees over historically lowest increase in pay by 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC).”
In a written reply to the question in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State Finance, P Radhakrishnan said the government was not considering a hike in minimum pay and fitment factor beyond the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission. “The minimum pay of Rs.18,000/- p.m. and fitment factor of 2.57 are based on the specific recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission in the light of the relevant factors taken into account by it. Therefore, no change therein is at present under consideration,” said Radhakrishnan.
