New Delhi: In what could bring
smiles to lakhs of central government employees, the Centre might start paying
the increased salary, recommended by Seventh Pay Commission, from July onwards,
as per media reports.
Added to the pleasure will be the
government decision to also pay arrears to the employees along with the hike in
salary.
The 'increased pay', which is due
from January 1, 2016, will mean a total of six months' arrear.
As much as Rs 70,000 crore has been
provisioned in the Union Budget 2016-17 for implementation of Seventh Pay
Commission for government employees.
Implementation of the pay commission
report in toto is to cost the government Rs 1.02 lakh crore.
The government in January set up a
high-powered panel headed by Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha to process the
recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission which will have bearing on the
remuneration of 47 lakh central government employees and 52 lakh pensioners.
