7th Pay Commission : Do they deserve it ?

Central government staff and pensioners make up less then 0.8% of the Indian population & less then 9%  of the workforce within the organized sector and by all accounts this suggests that they'rebut less then 1%  of the overall workforce within the organized and unorganised sectors combined.
And nevertheless this very small cluster of 10 million central government staff take home 12.6% of the central government's total expenditure towards their salaries, pension & other benefits.
The seventh Pay Commission recommends doubling the minimum beginning earnings from the present Rs 7,000 per month to Rs 18,000 per month. It conjointly recommends close to tripling of the highest earnings from Rs 80,000 per month to Rs 250,000 per month.
The Commission recommends the rise in the earnings to be established from January 1, 2016 and it conjointly proposes the higher limit of gratuity to be doubled from the prevailing higher limit of Rs 10 hundred thousand (Rs one million).
It is necessary to show that the seventh Pay Commission has preserved the three annual increment formula across all staff. It absolutely was earlier speculated that the annual increment might not apply to staff who do not perform at par with expectations. however this hasn't happened, quite expectedly.
The Commission's recommendations would add an additional 0.7% burden of the GDP. The expected yearly burden of revised pay and pension are Rs 102,000 crore. Still the unions are not happy. They accuse the govt. of throwing crumbs at them. Yes, that is right, Rs 102,000 crore is crumbs to central government staff. In spite of all the advantages, central government staff are not happy.
Instead the idea of pay commision should be challanged.
  With yearly increments and DA to care of inflation and if the pay bands increments upon promotions, why a 10 yearly pay commission is needed?
Ideally the wage increase ought to be connected to accomplishment of pre-set targets. Wholesale wage increase is not fascinating. If the excise tax officer does not meet his targets, he needn't be given increment.
 
It is standard that at rock bottom earnings levels, central government staff realize over double the earnings of rock bottom level staff within the non-public sector. The seventh Pay Commission can simply boost that distinction.
Add to this the very fact that employees within the non-public sector work tougher, have a lot of responsibility and face worse operating conditions as compared to employees within the central government. Non-government staff have reason to feel omitted.
I believe that the hike to government staff are indirectly passed onto the labour by method of enlarged taxes -- direct and indirect.
Central government staff get government housing or adequate allowances. The Central Government Health theme covers their medical wants adequately. They have confirmed pensions and it gets extended to their next relation after death. The employees fancy leave encashment, leave travel compensation, state insurance and gratuity. They get study leave and medical leave and God is aware of what every kind of leave. At the higher levels, they never even retire as they get themselves appointed to some post retirement committees.
Although i'm disinclined to generalizing, I must say that central government scientists do not turn out any valuable analysis, the cops do not do prosecutions with any vigor, the tax officers do not prosecute whoever enjoys heap of unlawful maltreatment, the policy makers do not do serious politics and therefore the secretaries do very little except drooping with happiness at their political masters.
Government lecturers teach a lot of of constant stuff once a year and supplement their financial gain by taking private tuition. Government engineers wish to work only on 'fertile' positions. Send them to 'dry' division and see how they moan. The doctors wish to figure solely in CGHS dispensaries within the nearby cities. Government officers resist transfers to remote places and given any chance are not disinclined to pampering in petty corruption.
So i'm not in any respect stunned that to them Rs 102,000 crore feels like crumbs.
I want government staff to require the largesse presented upon them. they do not be it within the initial place in an exceedingly free market world. nobody within the world deserves a pay hike if it is not connected to her/his performance. A pay hike is even if the targets are met. the times of all-inclusive earnings hikes square measure over. albeit one works for the govt..

Your child can't send your supervisor an email or post a humiliating picture on Facebook when all you proposed was to have your child play "Sweet Crush Saga." 


"Our consumers do not want eye-popping technology or the most complex technology," said J.K. Shin, Samsung's head of information technology and the mobile communications division. "Our consumers want durable design and performance. Our consumers want a simple, yet powerful camera."
