Proposal by Union Housing & Urban poverty alleviation Minister, Shri Ajay
Maken of Seventh Pay Commission
Shri. Ajay Maken, union housing
and urban poverty alleviation minister has taken up the central government
employees demand for the setting up of the seventh pay panel. The minister
has written a letter on March 14 and had asked
that that a decision be "taken on priority" for constitution of the
Seventh Central Pay Commission. "A notification for constitution of
the 7th Central Pay Commission is the need of the bour, which is bound to have
bearing upon about 20 million employees," the minister
said. He concluded by emphasizing that setting up of the new pay panel was
in "larger interest of government employees as well as the Congress"
Earlier, the government in
parliament had told that there was no proposal as such in setting up of the 7th
pay commission. The huge success of the strike conducted by the Confederation of Central Govt unions may have
factored in the decision for the move.
