New Delhi, Aug 21, 2008: Sixth Pay Commission recommendations have given some hope to government employees. Pay scales have changed and so the income. To central government employees it gives an immediate succor and for state government employees it gives hope that with its implementation in their respective state they would be able to see better days ahead.
But all people are not very happy. They think that sixth pay commission has not been very fair to them. Take the case of one Mr Farooqi (name changed) a central school teacher. Initially he had thought that his salary would almost double, but now he is realizing that the difference may well not be just about 5-6 thousand rupees, making no significant change in his lot.
He says that he had taken a house loan for 10 lakhs hoping that with six pay commission in place he would be able to control his expenses and anyhow sixth pay commission hike would give him a breathing space. But adds Mr Farooqi that the hike in salary is not as much as they had anticipated. His wife Rana adds that they never fought on monetary issue, but as financial crisis looms over them fights have ensued. She says that they can cut their budget to any extent, but how can they deny their kids one doing his engineering and another doing high school, their basic expenses.
She says that their hope has turned into despair. Mr and Mrs Farooqui are not alone. There are any number of central government employees who are suffering from a similar problem.
