7th Pay Commission Hike

7th Pay Commission: The move is likely to benefit 48 lakh employees and 65 lakh pensioners, Mr Javadekar said.

The government employees of the new Union Territories -- Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh -- will get salaries and other benefits as per the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission from October 31, officials said on Tuesday.

A bill to hike the salaries of judges of the Supreme Court and the 24 high courts by over two folds was introduced in the Lok Sabha today.

The Union Cabinet has given its approval for revision of pay scales for about 8 lakh teachers and other equivalent academic staff in higher educational institutions following the recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission for Central Government employees.

The hike would be anywhere between Rs 10,000 and Rs 50,000, says Union minister Prakash Javadekar.

A delegation of the Akhil Bhartiya Rashtriya Shaikshik Mahasangh (ABRSM), a body working in the field of education, met HRD minister Prakash Javadekar today.

The government has rejected earlier recommendations to cut HRA to 24 per cent for cities with population of 50 lakh and above.

There is a possibility of central government officials getting higher HRA than that recommended by the 7th pay commission.

Nearly 50 lakh central government employees could get revised allowances under 7th pay commission award, including HRA, from July, says a report.

Economists say that 7th pay commission allowances are expected to give a further boost to consumer spending.

The government had last year accepted the recommendation of Justice AK Mathur-headed Seventh Pay Commission in respect of the hike in basic pay and pension.

The government last week decided to continue with an earlier system of disbursing disability pension and not adopt a new regime as recommended by the 7th pay commission.

The 7th Pay Commission had recommended that house rent allowance or HRA be paid at the rate of 24 per cent, 16 per cent and 8 per cent of the new basic pay, depending on the type of city.

The government had in June accepted the recommendation of Justice AK Mathur-headed Seventh Pay Commission in respect of the hike in basic pay and pension.
