In order to give effect to the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission which are eventually accepted by the government, the Finance Ministry has set up an 'Implementation Cell' which is headed by a Joint Secretary level officer. The Cell would process and implement the 'accepted recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission.”
The Cell has been set up in the Department of Expenditure for a period of one year with effect from November 20, 2015. Besides Joint Secretary, the Cell would have nine officials and staff, including a Director level officer and two under-secretary level officers.
The 7th Pay Commission headed by Justice A K Mathur, cheering the central government employees and pensioners has recommended a 23.55 percent hike in salary, allowances and pension involving an additional burden of Rs 1.02 lakh crore for the government, of which increase in salary would be Rs 39,100 crore, allowances Rs 29,300 crore and pension Rs 33,700 crore. The new pay scales, subject to acceptance by the government, will come into effect from January 1, 2016. The Centre has expressed confidence that the implementation of the recommendation will not lead to a breach in the fiscal deficit targets.
