Khabrein.Info | Aug 22, 2008: | Implementation of Sixth Pay Commission recommendations

By Khabrein.Info News Desk,

New Delhi, Aug 22, 2008: Union government yesterday initiated the implementation of Sixth Pay Commission recommendations by handing over the report to Department of Personnel and Training.

Several governments have come forward to implement the report as accepted by union government. This gives hope to state government employees in states like Uttrakhand, Meghalya, Tamil Nadu, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.

There are other states that have not made any announcement in regard to implementation of the report. But there is a good news for every state government employee as with general elections due next year all state governments belonging to two leading political parties including the BJP and Congress to fall in line sooner than later.

Though it is not known when and how they will make the announcement but the lure of votes of state government employees will encourage them to take this costly step.

Some highlights of latest developments are

1. Uniform Date of increment (July).
2. Reduction in HRA for senior officers in A1 Cities, to bring parity with market rents in metros.
3. De-merging of Grade Pays of Group B & C employees (which were earlier merged)

In Sikkim the state Chief Minister Pawan Chamling said that the State Government will soon implement Sixth Pay Commission in the State. Whereas in Uttarakhand government is considering a strategy to implement the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations in the hill state for its employees.
