My take on 7th CPC(According to a central government employee)… People are making so much hue and cry after the submission of report… most of the people are saying that it is the worst hike given by government… I firmly endorse their point … while many are saying that 14 % given by commission is more than enough… This 14 % is seems okk for today only…. what about after 5-6 or 10 years… lets take the example of 6th pay commission…6th pay commission has given hike of 54% in salary ..what if 6th pay commission had given 14% hike in 2006… the salary of direct Inspectors would have been around 29k in X and in Z city 24 K… think a single time how you could afford your family in 24 K and being an inspector (to maintain status) .. and in 29 K in Mumbai where your expense goes up to 35-40 K…. so this hike is not enough at all.. second some pro-government people are saying that the pay commission has no political interference … ok you may be right but is the report would have been same if congress were in power..or this report will be submitted in 2018 (just before election) … if the pay commission was apolitical then why Congress government shown so much haste in the formation of Commission.. Further people living in metro cities specially in Mumbai were expecting increase in HRA because HRA given by government is not enough to live in Mumbai… but strangely government has reduced it to 24%... means government will now start to liven in Chawls or other cheap and low class accommodations…. And the bone of contention is 2500 Rs deduction of CGIGES… how can government increase this deduction from 60 rs to 2500 rs (42 times)… this is really absurd and it will be opposed strongly for sure…. The price of Daal to calculate minimum salary is taken 100 Rs per kg.. I have searched whole market but I didn’t find it below 150 rs /kg……Moreover the pay commission emphasized in every point that the main motto of Pay Commission is to make pairty in all central government jobs… okkk…. Commission has concluded that the basic of Group C and Group D employees is deduced by this method (Basic+125%DA on Basic)*1.1429=2.57 times of basic… But from where the Multiplication factor for Group B employees deduced to 2.62 and in increasing order it is 2.81 for the highest … Commission has explained that the Higher level officers are part of policy formation ..so their hike should be high…. It means lower officers has no right for hike… my father is in 2800 GP and he is more dedicated for his work than me… but what is his fault or my goodness that I got 0.05 more hike than him… The simple formula of Commission is give the goodies to higher officers …so they don’t oppose for anything .. .and left the lower employees on their fate … .it reminds me the colonial system… British people used to give monthly expenditure to Indian King and borne other expenses of him and exploited the poor people.. because the king cant oppose the Britishers….and what we can expect in a country where Corporate tax on the millionaires is abolished and Service tax on common man is hiked abruptly and nobody oppose that… In my opinion it is dawn of government employee’s dark days in other words “Ache Din”

PS:- Don’t take my FAQ against for anyone …. I have just spoke my heart out…..and sorry for pathetic english..
