There is no real increase in employees's salary. The benefit is in fact only to top level bureaucrats. It is reported that the fitment benefit of 2.57 is given to all while fixing pay. It needs be understood that the increase is only in Basic pay/ pension fixed on 1.1.2006. The dearness allowance and grade pay have been merged with new basic pay. At the lowest level, in fact there is decrease in carry home pay. Basic pay increased. Dearness allowance eliminated. grade pay eliminated. Deduction for pension etc. increased. Result- reduction in carry home pay. Thus all publicity about so called hike is meaningless. Employees are not getting more to the extent that market could be affected/.

I agree chinmoy and wonder what to make of the continued silence of the admin ??? Is it that he has given up on the site although we members still have'nt done so or is he planning some kind of a rejig which will come as a pleasant surprise to all the members /? I hope it is the latter !!!

It is good that their pay levels have increased and the pensioners have also benefitted, but I hope that the increased levels of salaries motivate the government workers to work more productively and honestly and lessen the corruption!
Yes Kalayani, the pensioners are happy including my mother and aunt , both retired teachers who will benefit from this increased pay scale. However, the majority of government employees are unhappy because they feel it is not enough to keep in line with the inflation and are planning t go n strike !!!

I agree with you Chinmoy. High time Administrator should come forward and clear all the doubts and suspicions about his silence. All the Moderators expressed in one voice, any change in the system can be done by the Administrator only. Hope these discussions will act as a Wake up call to the Administrator.

In my case, I generally maintain a good health. A decade ago, I walked the "walk way" to reach the Tirupati Shrine. But now, it's simply impossible. Now I limited my travels as I'm in 80s. The problem crops up when I'm exposed to different climates, and food habits. It happened very recently when I had been to Guruvayoor to witness the Maiden performance of my eldest grand daughter's Mohini Attam. There I was exposed to different types of foods, resulting in slight indisposition.
My Doctor too advised me to undertake Journeys.

47 lakh Central Government employees and 58 lakh pensioners are going to be benefited by the Seventh Pay Commission. But Economists say that The Seventh Pay Commission is going to add burden of 1.02 lakh Crores on India's economy at a time when the Government is struggling to cut its Fiscal deficit. In such a scenario, how Arun Jaitley is going to tackle this situation has to be seen.
