7th Pay Commission: Employees may not get good news on pay hike soon
New Delhi: The long wait of central government employees for new pay hike may not end soon.
The National Anomaly Committee (NAC) is expected to hold a meeting
soon to discuss various points regarding the pay irregularities arising
out of the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations.
The 22-member NAC panel is headed by Ajay Mittal, Secretary, Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) is likely to submit its report on pay irregularities to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in December.
A letter of Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) dated 30.10.2017 addressed to Shiv Gopal Mishra, Secretary, Staff Side, National Council JCM stating that the demand for increase in minimum Pay and fitment formula do not appear to be treated as an anomaly, therefore, these do not come under the purview of National Anomaly Committee (NAC).
Finance minister Arun Jaitley had agreed to resolve the problems of minimum pay hike of central government employees, who had met representatives of several central government employees’ unions leaders on June 30, 2016 for almost two hours in home minister Rajnath Singh’s house with other two cabinet ministers—Rajnath Singh and Suresh Prabhu and assured them a high level committee would look into the increasing minimum Pay and fitment formula.
Jaitley’s assurance had prevented several central government employees’ unions to go indefinite strike from July 11, 2016.
Jaitley had promised to hike minimum pay after discussions with all stakeholders, so the government was under mounting pressure to form a high level pay hike committee and Jaitley figured out the best way to relieve pressure to form the National Anomaly Committee headed by Secretary, Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) in September, 2016 to look into pay anomalies arising out of the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations.
“The high level committee has not yet been constituted. The National Anomaly Committee (NAC) has also not discussed pay hike agenda even though staff Side has repeatedly demanded discussion and settlement as per the assurance given by Union Finance Minister,” a central government employees’ leader told us.
However, a top Finance Ministry official, who did not wish to be named told The Sen Times here today, “The National Anomaly Committee (NAC) is the high level committee and the government’s argument that the case of increase in minimum Pay and fitment formula, a jurisdictional dispute, which is beyond the purview of the National Anomaly Committee (NAC).”
“Cases where there is a dispute about the definition of “anomaly” and those where there is a disagreement between the staff side and the official side of NAC on the anomaly will be referred to and “arbitrator” to be appointed out of a panel of names proposed by the two sides. However, this arbitration will not be a part of the JCM Scheme,” he added.
The unions have been demanding minimum pay Rs 26,000, higher than the Rs 18,000 approved by the cabinet on June 29, 2016 on the 7th Pay Commission’s report and asked to raising fitment factor 3.68 times from 2.57 times.
The sources said “ government may to go ahead for hike in minimum pay Rs 21,000 from Rs 18,000 and fitment factor may be raised 3.00 times from 2.57 times uniformly in next financial year.”
Earlier, the government gave nod the 7th Pay Commission proposal of minimum basic pay from Rs 7,000 to Rs 18,000 per month while the maximum basic pay from Rs 80,000 to Rs 2.5 lakh with a fitment factor of 2.57 times uniformly of sixth pay commission’s basic pay.

Minimum Pay and Fitment Formula will not come under National Anomaly Committee
Minimum Pay and Fitment Formula will not come under National Anomaly Committee
IMPORTANT
LATEST
POSITION REGARDING MINIMUM PAY AND FITMENT FORMULA — GOVT INFORMED
STAFFSIDE NATIONAL COUNCIL JCM THAT INCREASE IN MINIMUM PAY AND FITMENT
FORMULA WILL NOT COME UNDER ANOMALY COMMITTEE ITEM.
During
the last 2 – 3 months both print and electronic media are continuously
reporting that increase in 7th CPC Minimum Pay and Fitment Factor is
under serious consideration of the Govt. and National Anomaly Committee
will give its recommendation to Govt. and orders for increased Minimum
Pay and Fitment Formula will be given effect from April 2018. We are
reproducing below a letter from Govt. dated 30.10.2017 addressed to
Secretary, Staff Side , National Council JCM stating that the demand for increase in Minimum Pay and Fitment Formula will not come under the purview of National Anomaly Committee.
Further Govt. has not yet constituted the HIGH LEVEL COMMITTEE for
increasing Minimum Pay and Fitment Formula as assured by the Group of
Ministers including Home Minister Sri Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister
Shri Arun Jaitley on 30.06.2016. The so-called Senior Officers Committee
has also not discussed this agenda even though staff Side has
repeatedly demanded discussion and settlement as per the assurance given
by Senior Cabinet Ministers. Now 17 months are over. 32 lakhs Central
Govt. Employees and 33 lakhs Pensioners are being continuously betrayed
by the NDA Govt.
