Central Government Employees pay structure revision.

The Federation of Railway Employees has written a letter to PM Modi demanding an amendment in the pay structure of Central Government employees.

Railway Employees pay structure revision: The National Federation of Indian Railwaymen (NFIR) has written a letter to PM Narendra Modi demanding an amendment in the pay structure of central government employees. The Federation said in this letter that the recommendation of the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) was implemented on January 1, 2016, in which the minimum wage was fixed at Rs 18,000 per month.

“Almost 8 years have passed since the date of implementation of the revised pay structure. However, the Government of India has not yet considered the pay structure or the establishment of the 8th Central Pay Commission,” the letter by NFIR General Secretary M Raghavaiah said. .”

There is no need to wait for 10 years

In its letter, the Federation also reminded PM Modi of the recommendations of the 7th CPC. It was also said in these recommendations that the matrix can be reviewed from time to time, for this it is not necessary to wait for a long period of 10 years. The Commission said that the matrix can be reviewed and amended on the basis of Ackroyd formula. Which takes into account the changes in the prices of items that make up the common man’s basket. It is reviewed occasionally by the Labor Bureau present in Shimla.

Federation said that compared to 2016, there has been a huge increase in the prices of many essential commodities including food items. To compensate for this, the government needs to increase the minimum wage and provide a uniformly revised pay structure for all categories of central government employees.

What should be the minimum salary?

As per Dr. Aykroyd formula and based on the prices of various commodities, the minimum wage for Central Government employees should not be less than Rs 32500 per month on July 1, 2023, whereas at present the employee is being given a much lower minimum wage. . At present the minimum salary is Rs 18000 per month, even after adding dearness allowance of 46% of the salary, it is very low.

It said, “NFIR requests the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India to intervene to take action for revising the pay structure of Central Government employees and revising the minimum wages based on the specific recommendation of the 7th Central Pay Commission .”

50% Dearness Allowance (DA) & Dearness Relief (DR) expected from Jan, 2024

-
Labour Bureau has published All-India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) for September 2023 which recorded a sharp decrease by 1.7 points, resulting in an index value of 137.5 (one hundred thirty-seven point five). This crucial economic indicator is instrumental in calculating the Dearness Allowance (DA) & Dearness Relief (DR) for Central Government Employees and Pensioners, and the recent dip in the CPI-IW index has far-reaching implications for their financial well-being. The decline in the CPI-IW Index may initially raise concerns; however, it leads to a promising development for Central Government Employees and Pensioners. Despite the decrease in the index, the expected DA/DR from January 2024 is anticipated to increase by a substantial 4%. This increase will propel the DA/DR to reach an impressive 50% in the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC), greatly benefiting those who rely on these allowances and benefits to maintain their standard of living.

India’s 8th Pay Commission: A Potential Windfall for Central Government Employees

-
  Amidst the rising cost of living and inflation, central government employees await a potential financial relief as the   8th Pay Commission   takes center stage in national discourse. This proposed commission, speculated to be implemented by 2026, could see a significant increase in salaries and benefits for central government employees. A Proposed Leap in Salaries According to sources, the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission could hike the salaries of central government employees by  44 percent  from next year. At present, the minimum salary for these employees fluctuates between Rs 18,000 to Rs 56,900 per month. With the new pay commission in place, their monthly compensation might see an increase to at least Rs 25,000. The Crucial Fitment Factor The debate over the  fitment factor  for the 8th Pay Commission also gains momentum. This factor determines the multiplication used to calculate the new minimum wage. If the government retains the current fitment factor at 2.57 times,

The Labour Bureau has published the All-India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) for the month of September 2023. The All-India CPI-IW declined by 1.7 points in September 2023, from 139.2 in August 2023. Based on the indices till August 2023, the expected DA for central government employees from January 2024 was expected to cross 50%. However, even with the CPI-IW declining by 1.7 points in October 2023, still the DA can be 50% from January 2024. However, the chances of it becoming 51% is less. For the calculation of the DA, CPI-IW indices for 12 months, i.e. January 2023 to December 2024 are required. The indices for three more months are required to calculate the exact DA. Based on the indices till September 2023, the expected DA for central government employees from January 2024 is almost certain to cross 50%. This is an increase of 4 percentage points from the current DA of 46%. However, the DA touching the 50% milestone will have additional benefits as a hike in
