Sixth Pay Commission: pay scales for armed forces officers announced
New Delhi, Sept. 2, 2008: Following Sixth Pay Commission notification new pay scales for officers of the armed forces have been announced by the defence ministry. The new pay bands and pay scales are announced at a time when armed forces officers have been criticizing the sixth pay commission recommendations.
They have called the 6th Pay Commission recommendations for the armed forces officials as discriminatory. Armed forces chiefs including Navy and Indian Air Force chiefs have demanded that the anomalies in the pay commission recommendations be rectified.
Armed forces officials say that instead of reducing the disparity, the Sixth Pay Commission has increased it even further.
They say that before the Sixth Pay Commission came into vogue, IAS officers equivalent to Majors, Lieutenant Colonels all were on same pay-scale of Rs 15,100, but it has changed after the pay panel’s recent recommendations were implemented.
Now after pay panel’s recommendations IAS officers will earn Rs 11,000 more as basic pay.
According to the new pay scale services chiefs will get Rs 90000 as fixed salary while vice chiefs will get Rs 80000 as consolidated emolument.
