Comrades,
1) The 7th CPC had issued following statement in July 2015 in its website http://7cpc.india.gov.in/ .
“Further to the memoranda received from a variety of Organisations, Federations, Groups representing civil employees in the Government of India as also from the Defence Services, the Commission has had fruitful and wide ranging discussions on relevant issues with all stakeholders. Such interactions have now been concluded. Valuable inputs have been received and the work of compilation and finalization of the report is underway, so that the Commission completes its task in the time frame given to it. Accordingly, any future requests for meeting with the Commission will not be entertained.”
This shows clearly that the 7th CPC wanted to present its report on 28th August 2015 itself with no extension of time.
2) On August 7, 2015 National Council (Staff Side) Secretary Comrade Shiva Gopal Mishraji met the Chairman, Seventh Central Pay Commission, Shri Ashok Kumar Mathur and Secretary, Mrs. Meena Agarwal. It was assumed that the report of the VII CPC, as was promised for 28th August this year, may be delayed by one month.
This shows that the 7th CPC was delayed only by few days or maximum one month.
3) Many news papers including Danik Bhaskar had reported that the 7th CPC will be submitting its report in September 2015 itself.
4) The 7th CPC chairman had informed in a PTI interview Shri Ashok Kumar Mathurji had stated that “The Commission will submit its report by the end of September,” source: http://www.livemint.com/Politics/J3k7gmn6v4lta87HFJJ3UL/Seventh-Pay-Commission-to-submit-report-by-Septemberend.html
5) The Hon’able Finance Minister had informed the parliament that the provisions for implementation for 7th CPC is made from Jan 2016 onwards and budget provisions are also made for the current year and next year.
6) Now four month extension of term of 7th Central Pay Commission is made the Union Cabinet chaired by the Hon'able Prime Minister, gave its approval for the extension of the term of the 7th Central Pay Commission by four months up to 31.12.2015.
7) Now the delay in submission of report and its implementation will be there and actual benefit of 7th CPC will occur only from end of 2016. As Government will constitute its own committee to study the implementation of the 7th CPC report and issuing orders.
8) Now larger questions are raised by this extension of term of the 7th CPC by four months by the Central Government employees as follows.
a) When will the 7th CPC will submit its report? Now it is clear that the report will be submitted only in December 2015 only, if the 7th CPC feels that the assigned work has been completed it can submit its report any time, its only upto the 7th CPC and the Central Government. As a employee we should put pressure on them.
b) Is the 7th CPC extension so required, from the beginning the 7th CPC was against the extension of time, even at last stages the it had thought of one month extension only. Suddenly four months delay in submission of report has raised so many questions only the 7th CPC and the Central Government. Has to answer this question.
c) If DA merger would have taken place in 2014, the Central Government employees would have got a benefit of more than 20% wage hike.
d) Now the delay in submission of 7th CPC report is there, we should immediately demand the interim relief to the Central Government employees and merger of DA with effect from 2014.
We sincerely hope the 7th CPC report will be submitted at the earliest and the Central Government will implement the report at the earliest, so that the aspiration of the Central Government employees are taken care by the Central Government. While doing so the right wages are to be calculated by the 7thCPC.
