No further 7th Pay Commission benefits as Govt comes up with new decision?

New Delhi/Bhubaneswar: If we believe the rumours that are making rounds and go by the way the issue of further hike in minimum pay of the Central government employees has been dilly-dallied, the employees will have to forget about any further hike as the Centre has reportedly come up with a new proposal prior to taking a final call on the employees’ demand.

While the government employees are levelling the new decision of the government as a trick to cheat them, the government is of the view that it will hike the minimum pay but only after going through the process as per the guidelines.

Meanwhile, media reports are there that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has come up with a decision to form a new high-level committee to look into the demand of increase in minimum pay. Besides, it is expected that the committee will have  secretaries of different ministries as members.

“What are the guidelines… does anyone know? The Finance Minister had promised to hike the minimum pay but now after lingering the issue for months if he is planning to form a new committee, it shows the government's intention of just playing with our emotions," said a Central Income Tax department employee.
