The Seventh Pay Commission is likely
to recommend the government to form a permanent pay panel to give
recommendations to the government from time to time on issues pertaining to pay
structure of central government employees.
The permanent pay panel would recommend regular salary hikes
in keeping with the rate of inflation.
The formation of the permanent pay panel would help raise
the salaries and allowances of central government officials and employees, an
official of the pay panel said.
He added the permanent pay panel would recommend salary and
allowance hikes in keeping with the rising inflation rate, which will be
implemented by the government. “Then it will not be necessary to form a new
commission during the next several years for central government employees.”
However, the Seventh Pay Commission got one month extension
to submit its recommendations.
Accordingly it is expected to submit its report by the end
of September. The time allotted for the commission ends this month.
The government appointed the Seventh Pay Commission on 28
February 2014 under chairman, Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur, with a time frame of
18 months to make its recommendations
“There are some data points that are missing, which we hope
to get by this month end. We are trying to submit the report by 20 September,”
the official of the pay panel also said.
The government’s salary bill will rise by 9.56% to Rs
1,00,619 crore with the implementation of the recommendations of the Seventh
Pay Commission, according to a statement tabled in Parliament by Finance
Minister Arun Jaitley on August 12.
The recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission, is likely
to be implemented in April, next year.
