While
the central government employees are hoping to get hike in minimum pay under
7th Pay Commission soon, the government has now decided that the employees will
not get arrears on revised minimum pay, a media report said.
Earlier
this month, there were several media reports which stated that the Ministry of
Finance is planning to raise the minimum pay hike from Rs 18,000 to Rs 21,000
under 7th Pay Commission.

fitment formula at 2.57. Now, the government may agree to raise
fitment factor to 3 times.
However,
according to a report by The Sen Times, which quoted a government officials
saying, "Finance Minister is very pleased to hike the minimum pay Rs 21,000
with raising fitment factor 3.00 times from 2.57 times, will be paid
from January next year. It’s an important payment for the financial impact to
central government employees but no arrears on higher minimum pay will be given
to employees and the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will place it before the
Cabinet in the month of January next year."
