New Delhi sources have stated that taking cognizance of the brewing resentment among the Central government employees and the Narendra Modi led BJP government is likely to hike the minimum pay as the National Anomaly Committee (NAC) is expected to meet this month to discuss on the issue.
Meanwhile with a large number of Central government employees eagerly waiting for an increase in their minimum pay as they are not satisfied with the increase in the hike recommended under the 7th Pay Commission, the current situation is getting intense. Previously Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had promised to give a bonanza to the lakh of employees but the so called ‘bonanza’ seems to have turned into a huge disappointment for them.
Furthermore the Central government employees’ unions are demanding Rs
26,000 as the minimum pay as against the recommended Rs 18,000. However, if
sources are to be believed, the NAC is mulling to increase the minimum pay to
around Rs 21,000 which is much below the demand. Moreover the employees are
already against the mere Rs 3,000 hike stating that it will have no impact on
their financial position.
