Sixth Pay Commission Report & Implications with Calculator for Pay, Pension and Arrears
In an Independence Day-eve bonanza, the central government on Thursday gave
its 50 lakh employees, including defence personnel, a significantly bigger pay packet improving on the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission with retrospective effect from January, 2006.
The Union Cabinet, which met on Thursday, approved the new pay scales that would give the employees an average increase of 21 per cent, a decision that would cost the exchequer Rs 22,131 crore -- Rs 15,717 crore on the General Budget and Rs 6,414 crore on the Railway Budget -- in 2008-09.
"The overall average increase is 21 per cent," Expenditure Secretary Sushma Nath said. The fitment rate will be 40 per cent as against 28 per cent recommended by the Sixth Pay Commission.
In a significant modification of the Pay Commission recommendation, the government has raised the fitment rate, which helps in arriving at higher allowances in view of merger of 50 per cent DA with basic pay, in revised pay bands to 40 per cent as against 28 per cent.
The minimum basic pay for a government servant at the lowest level has been increased to Rs 7,000 against Rs 6,660 per month awarded by the Commission. Consequently, the total emoluments of this class of employees would exceed Rs 10,000 including allowances.
Officials say that the increase in the higher brackets of pay will not be much compared with the Commission's recommendation. However, in the category of defence personnel, the recommendations of the Commission, which had led to large-scale discontent, the modifications on the basis of an empowered committee's suggestions have been significant.

Sixth pay commission pay scales
Sixth Pay Commission pay scale revisionss
Indian Economy is booming and the prices have been rising for the past two years at a much faster rate. The price of Real estate is rising. A common man can�t buy a house unless he takes a huge loan. The loan he will need all his life to re-pay.
There are shopping malls coming up (which are only increasing the spending of middle income groups).
The stock markets witnessed a very fast increase in valuations in year 2007. The start of 2008 wasn�t good for Indian markets, but still many stocks are near their all time highs.
The government should revise the pay scales for Government employees with the Sixth Pay commission recommendations at the earliest. The cost of living for every household is rising with every passing day. The wages for government employees are the same.
Sixth Pay Commission has been set up to revise the pay scales for the following category of employees
(a) Central government employees � industrial and non-industrial
(b) Personnel belonging to the All India Services
(c) Personnel belonging to the Armed Forces
(d) Personnel of the Union Territories
(e) Officers and employees of the Indian Audit and Accounts Department
(f) Officers and employees of the regulatory bodies set up under Acts of Parliament.
Persons working in private companies are getting paid much more. I can agree that they work a lot and offer a good value of work for the money paid to them.
Indian government employees should be offered decent salary based on the work they are doing.
It will be good to keep the age of retirement at 58. Making it 60 isn�t a very wise decision while many government departments came up with VRS scheme recently. Chance should be given to the young generation. Most of them are only working in some private companies or have left India for better wages abroad.
The sixth pay commission may cause a big burden on government, but the employees have not seen revision for pay scales for a long time.

Central sixth pay commission report
India Inc welcomes 6th Pay Commission report
NEW DELHI: India Inc has welcomed the Sixth Pay Commission report that suggested an average increase of 40 percent in salaries of central government employees and said the move will not lead to a rise in inflation and revenue deficit of the government.
Industry body FICCI said the pay hike would not add to inflationary conditions and revenue deficit due to buoyant revenue collections.
"The revenue collections and the overall economy is growing. If these trends are kept intact, then this additional expenditure should not be too much of a problem," Ficci Secretary General Amit Mitra said.
Echoing similar sentiments, Assocham said increase in salaries would not fuel inflation and increase revenue deficit as the country is witnessing increased direct and indirect tax collections as a result of higher tax compliance.
"The government is going to witness substantial hike in its revenue collections, benefits of which ought to be given to its employees and there should be no grudge against such pay commissions recommendations," Assocham President Venugopal Dhoot said.
Assocham said the move would make the central government employees more accountable, productive and responsive as the exchequer would shed Rs 12,561 crore in 2008-09 itself on account of higher package.
Also, Ficci said the hike would reduce the problem of governance and attract talented personnel, besides making the employees more responsible.
The Sixth Pay Commission submitted its report to Finance Minister P Chidambaram recommending implementation of the revised pay from January 1, 2006, which would impose an arrear payout burden of Rs 18,060 crore on the government.

Sixth pay commission india
Cabinet approves sixth Pay Commission
NEW DELHI: The government on Thursday gave its approval for setting up the Sixth Pay Commission for central government employees.
Term of the commission would be for 18 months, the Cabinet decided at its meeting.
"The commission will comprise one chairman of the rank of Minister of State, one part time member and one Member-Secretary of the rank of Secretary or Additional Secretary in the central government," Information and Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi said after the cabinet meeting.
The Chairman and other members of the commission would be appointed by the Prime Minister, he said.
The commission will also examine desirability, need and quantum to sanction interim relief if any.
The last central pay commission was set up in 1994 and its report came in January 1997. The financial implications of the fifth pay commission was Rs 17,000 crore.
Dasmunsi said state governments were also consulted before taking a decision on the pay commission.
Views of states were sought because once a decision was taken on pay commission for central government employees, the state governments were expected to face similar demands from their own employees.
"Out of as many as 16 states that sent their comments some like Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh were against it. Some states wanted the Centre to share the burden of the pay commission with the states," he said.
Both Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh are ruled by Bharatiya Janata Party.
Karnataka, Assam, Tripura, Orissa, Manipur and Nagaland are the states which demanded that Centre should share the burden of increased salaries of government employees.

Sixth pay commission latest news
Armed forces welcome Sixth Pay Commission hike
The Union Cabinet, ahead of the 61st Independence Day, has gifted the armed forces and other central government employees an average increase of 21 percent in salaries and at least three assured promotion by accepting the Sixth Pay Commission report.
The UPA Government approved at least three assured promotions for all soldiers and civilian employees under the modified Assured Career Progression scheme.
The civilian government employees would get this assured promotions after 10, 20 and 30 years of service, where as defence forces personnel would be promoted under ACP after 8, 16 and 24 years.
Chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee and Navy Chief, Admiral Sureesh Mehta, welcomed the government’s decision to consider the demands of the armed forces while granting the Sixth Pay Commission.
He said that even as more details are awaited, prima-facie, all the concerns of the defence forces appear to have been suitably addressed.
“Increase in Military Service Pay of PBORs and compensation for middle-rung officers’ are particularly heartening. The decision to credit arrears from January 01, 2006 is most welcome,” Admiral Mehta added.
The grade pay of the middle level officers from captain to Brigadier has been enhanced. Officers like Colonels and Brigadiers have been put in Pay Band-4 and the pay band has been modified to Rs.37400-67000 instead of Rs.39200-67000.
Grade pay of Major General has been increased to Rs.11000 and that of Lieutenant General to Rs.13000.
The Military Service Pay of PBORs has been increased from Rs.1000 to Rs.2000 per month. Weightage ratio of five years for gratuity for PBORs will continue.
There is also good news for war-disabled personnel as the disability pension has been doubled from Rs.1550 to Rs.3100 and war disability pension to be granted at 60 percent.
The rate of Special Forces allowance for the Army and the Air Force will be equated with Navy’s Marine Commando allowance.
The Government announced an average increase of 21 per cent in salaries of 55 lakh Central Government employees with effect from January 1, 2006.
The wage hike would increase the financial implication for the Centre by Rs.17,798 crore annually and the arrears with effect from January 2006 would cost Rs.29,373 crore.
The financial implications in 2008-09 on account of the implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations will be around Rs.15,700 crore on the Central Budget and Rs.6,400 crore on the Railway Budget. (ANI)

Michael Phelps Personal life
Phelps was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, and grew up in the Rodgers Forge neighborhood. He graduated from Towson High School in 2003. His father, Fred Phelps, worked for the Maryland State Police and his mother, Debbie Davisson Phelps, is a middle school principal. The two divorced in 1994.[4] Michael, whose nickname is "MP", has two older sisters, Whitney and Hilary.[4][5] Both of them were swimmers as well, with Whitney coming close to making the U.S. national team for the 1996 Summer Olympics before injuries derailed her career.
In his youth, Phelps was diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). He started swimming at age seven, partly because of the influence of his sisters and partly to provide him with an outlet for his energy. He excelled as a swimmer, and by the age of 10 held a national record for his age group. More age group records followed, and Phelps' rapid improvement culminated in his qualifying for the 2000 Summer Olympics at the age of 15.
In November 2004, at the age of 19, Phelps was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in Salisbury, Maryland. He pleaded guilty to driving while impaired the following month and was granted probation before judgment and ordered to serve 18 months probation, fined $250, obligated to speak to high school students about drinking and driving and had to attend a Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) meeting.[8][9] Questioned about the incident later that month by Matt Lauer on the Today Show, Phelps said it was an "isolated incident" and that he had "definitely let myself down and my family down...I think I let a lot of people in the country down."
Between 2004 and 2008, Phelps attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, studying sports marketing and management. In May 2008, Phelps said he intends to return to Baltimore following the 2008 Olympics, joining Bob Bowman there when he leaves the University of Michigan, saying, "I'm not going to swim for anybody else. I think we can both help the North Baltimore Aquatic Club go further. I'm definitely going to be in Baltimore next year." The club has announced that Bowman is leaving the University of Michigan to become the club's CEO. Phelps purchased a house in the Fells Point section of Baltimore, where he intends to reside after returning from the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Phelp's teammates call him "Gomer" because he reminds them of Gomer Pyle, the good-natured, naive country boy played by Jim Nabors.
He has made an estimated $5 million per year in endorsements, plus a $1 million bonus from swimsuit maker Speedo for winning eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games.

Strike on issue of 6th Pay Commission brings the nation to halt
By Khabrein.Info Correspondents,
New Delhi, Aug 20, 2008: A nationwide strike on the issue of 6th Pay Commission brought the nation to a grinding halt Wednesday. The call of strike given by leading labor unions supported by communist parties and trade unions affiliated to them affected almost the whole nation.
Air passengers were worst hit as were train services in many states including West Bengal and Bihar. Several flights were cancelled as union employees sat on dharnas and shouted slogans blocking the entrance of the airport in many places.
Stranded passengers mostly on local routes had a harrowing time as there were no alternative arrangements for them. With 22000 Air Port Authority of India employees staging protests, most prepaid taxiwallahs too had not come to airport and so the passengers who got to the airport had to walk miles to get a taxi or auto in the national capital.
But the worst hit was West Bengal where life remained completely shut down. Markets, schools, colleges and all other institutions were closed. Even private sector business institutions were closed as public transport was not available in any part of the state including Kolkata, the state capital. All trains leaving from Kolkata were cancelled.
Left affiliated trade unions had called for strike demanding the removal of anomalies in the 6th Pay Commission implementation, rising inflation among other things.
According to reports, eight trade unions including the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) and Centre for Industrial Trade Union (CITU) and 40 employees' federations are supporting the strike.
New Delhi, Aug 20, 2008: A nationwide strike on the issue of 6th Pay Commission brought the nation to a grinding halt Wednesday. The call of strike given by leading labor unions supported by communist parties and trade unions affiliated to them affected almost the whole nation.

SBI launches loan scheme for poor heart patients
State Bank of India (SBI), the country’s largest commercial bank, today launched a loan product aimed at the poor heart patients. Named ‘SBI Hrudaya Suraksha Scheme’, the exclusive loan product is extended only for patients undergoing cardiac treatment at the Narayana Hrudayalaya in Bangalore.
The loan product was launched at the hands of Muhammad Yunus, founder, Grameen Bank of Bangladesh and Nobel Laureate for peace in 2006.
Speaking on the occasion, SBI Chairman O P Bhatt, said SBI has been taking several initiatives to reach out to the larger sections of the society and the new loan scheme is aimed at helping the poor to undergo heart surgeries was one such initiative. The bank will come out with many more complex products in association with Narayana Hrudayalaya in the future, he said.
Mahpara Ali, chief general manager, SBI, Bangalore, said the SBI Hrudaya Suraksha Scheme is a hassle-free loan product that will help the poor patient meet the shortfall in his medical expenditure.
Under the product, SBI would extend around 80 per cent of the medical expenditure or Rs 50,000, whichever is lower. The borrower will have to repay the loan in six months with no interest for the first three months.
Later, the loan amount will have to be repaid at an interest rate of 8.5 per cent. However, the loan scheme is available only to poor patients and as per the recommendation of the hospital. The bank expects to lend to about 30-50 patients per month initially, she said.
“We need to bring in innovative schemes and investments to shore up healthcare cover in the country. Healthcare, especially heartcare, needs huge investments. The present demand is 25 lakh heart procedures a year, but only 80,000 procedures are carried out across various hospitals,” said Dr Devi Prasad Shetty, chairman and managing director, Narayana Hrudayalaya.
Ali said, “Talks are on with Narayana Hrudayalaya as to how to link self help groups (SHGs) in Karnataka for healthcare schemes. Integration of SHGs and healthcare schemes are being worked out. State Bank of India along with few non-government organisations (NGOs) in Karnataka has exposure to 50,000 SHGs and has disbursed loans to the tune of Rs 200 crore,” she added.

Boxers Jitender, Vijender carry Indian hopes of a medal
PUNCHING HARD: Vijender Kumar reacts after defeating Angkhan Chomphuphuang of Thailand during a men's middleweight 75 kilogram preliminary boxing match.Beijing: Akhil Kumar's defeat in the ring on Monday broke a billion hearts, but the disappointment will be short-lived as Jitender Kumar and Vijender Kumar will be boxing in their quarter-finals on Wednesday, within an hour and a half of each other and their victory will assure India of a medal.
Union Sports Minister MS Gill called in Jitender to wish him luck, motivating the 20-year-old for his important career move.
Despite losing to his quarter-final opponent - Russian Georgy Balakshin - in last year's world championship, he has not lost hope.
Also the loss of his mentor Akhil Kumar has come as a shock and he wants to hit back.
Jitender has an ace up his sleeves. Boxer Akhil Kumar who crashed out of the quarter-finals on Monday will be present during the fight.
Even though Akhil lost his bout, he has always stood behind his fellow boxers, and now the mentor is focusing all his energy on them.
The other bout of the day will see Vijender take on Carlos Gongora of Ecuado.
Vijender is the 2006 Commonwealth Games silver medallist and has had two comfortable wins in Beijing so far. However, with a medal at stake the pressure will be different.

Paraguayan heartthrob breaks our collective hearts
By Chris Chase
Leryn Franco is just your run-of-the-mill javelin thrower/pageant queen/model with her own calendar. But during the Beijing Olympics the 26-year old Paraguayan became so much more to the American people; she became our javelin thrower/pageant queen/model with her own calendar. So, my fellow Americans, it is with a heavy heart that I regret to inform you that our favorite Paraguayan athlete (sorry Jose Luis Chilavert) was eliminated from the Olympics this morning after failing to qualify for the javelin finals. Take all the time you need.
Ms. Franco became the object of our attention after she was noticed by NBC cameras during the Parade of Nations at the Olympic Opening Ceremony. Fourth-Place Medal's fledgling Investigative Unit discovered her identity eight magical days ago and since then our schoolboy crush blossomed into unrequited love.
Leryn -- can we call you Leryn? -- didn't return our collective calls, but we didn't mind. We knew she was busy preparing for her event: the javelin throw. She competed this morning, finishing second-to-last in the qualifying round with a throw that was 12 meters short of her personal best. It was a disappointment, to be sure, but not altogether surprising. After all, Leryn's goal was never to medal; it was to win the hearts of men and women worldwide. And in that event, Leryn Franco won gold.

Michael Phelps’s Mother Deborah Phelps Recalls Helping Her Son Find Gold-Medal Focus
By MICHAEL WINERIP
Ozier Muhammad/The New York Times
NEVER GIVE UP Deborah Phelps, mother of the swimming champion Michael Phelps, said his teachers had low expectations.
DEBORAH PHELPS’S third baby and only son was larger than life from Day 1 — 9 pounds, 6 ounces and 23 inches long. As a little boy, said the mother, he asked 25 zillion questions, always wanting to be the center of attention. If he wasn’t zooming by on his big-wheel tricycle, he was swinging past on the monkey bars.
Starting with preschool, teachers complained: Michael couldn’t stay quiet at quiet time, Michael wouldn’t sit at circle time, Michael didn’t keep his hands to himself, Michael was giggling and laughing and nudging kids for attention.
As he entered public school, he displayed what his teachers called “immature” behavior. “In kindergarten I was told by his teacher, ‘Michael can’t sit still, Michael can’t be quiet, Michael can’t focus,’ ” recalled Ms. Phelps, who was herself a teacher for 22 years. The family had recently moved, and she felt Michael might be frustrated because the kindergarten curriculum he was getting in the new district was similar to the pre-K curriculum in their old district.
“I said, maybe he’s bored,” Ms. Phelps recalled saying to his teacher. “Her comment to me — ‘Oh, he’s not gifted.’ I told her I didn’t say that, and she didn’t like that much. I was a teacher myself so I didn’t challenge her, I just said, ‘What are you going to do to help him?’ ”
In the elementary grades at their suburban Baltimore school, Ms. Phelps said, Michael excelled in things he loved — gym and hands-on lessons, like science experiments. “He read on time, but didn’t like to read,” she said. “So I gave him the Baltimore Sun sports pages, even if he just read the pictures and captions.”
She will never forget one teacher’s comment: “This woman says to me, ‘Your son will never be able to focus on anything.’ ”
His grades were B’s and C’s and a few D’s.
It was a tough period. Ms. Phelps and her husband, a state trooper, were divorcing. She had just gone back to school to get a master’s degree to become an administrator, she said, and at the same time she had to be the 24/7 parent.
Michael grew like crazy, but not evenly — his ears looked huge, and when he ran, his arms swung below his knees. (He was on his way to being 6 feet 4 inches tall with an arm span of 6 feet 7 inches.) Kids bullied him, and when he whacked one on the school bus, he was suspended from the bus for several days.
When he was in fifth grade, during his annual check-up, Ms. Phelps and the family physician, Dr. Charles Wax, discussed whether Michael might have A.D.H.D. — attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. By then, the Phelpses were a swimming family. (Michael’s older sister Whitney at 15 was ranked first in the country in the 200-meter butterfly, though her career would be cut short by a back injury.) Dr. Wax’s children also swam, and he’d noticed Michael at the Phelps sisters’ swim meets. “Michael used to run around like a little crazy person mooching food off people,” said Ms. Phelps.
The doctor suggested sending assessment forms to his teachers. Their consensus: Can’t sit still, can’t keep quiet, can’t focus.
At age 9, Michael was put on Ritalin, a stimulant used to treat hyperactivity.
His mother thinks it helped a little. “He seemed to be able to focus longer,” she said. “He could get through homework without moving around so much.” She said he was still a middling student. “It might have raised some C’s to B’s,” she said. But if a homework assignment had to be at least four sentences, she said, “he’d just do four sentences.”
After two years, Michael asked to get off the meds. He had to go to the school nurse’s office to take a pill at lunch, she said, and felt stigmatized. “Out of the blue, he said to me: ‘I don’t want to do this anymore, Mom. My buddies don’t do it. I can do this on my own.’ ”
“I was always stern as a parent,” she said, “but from Day 1, I included my children as part of the decision process. So I listened.” After consulting with Dr. Wax, Michael stopped medication.
In the meantime, Michael the swimmer had appeared. By 10, he was ranked nationally in his age group. Ms. Phelps watched the boy who couldn’t sit still at school sit for four hours at a meet waiting to swim his five minutes’ worth of races.
When Michael was 11, his swim coach at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club, Bob Bowman — still his coach — took the Phelpses aside and talked about Michael’s gift. “Bob says, ‘By 2000, I look for him to be in the Olympic trials,’ ” recalled Ms. Phelps. “ ‘By 2004, he makes the Olympics. By 2008, he’ll set world records. By 2012, the Olympics will be in New York and’ — I said ‘Bob, stop, he’s 11, he’s in middle school.’ ”
As it turned out, the boy would move four years faster than his coach’s prediction (and New York would lose its Olympic bid).
At age 12 Michael needed an algebra tutor, and was so antsy in school that his mother suggested the teacher sit him at a table in the back. And yet he willingly got up at 6:30 daily for 90-minute morning practices and swam 2 to 3 hours every afternoon.
By 15, in 2000, he was at the Olympics; at 16 he had his first world record; and by 19, at the 2004 Olympics, he had won 8 medals, 6 of them gold.
Of all his mental gifts, the one that amazes his mother the most is this: “Michael’s mind is like a clock. He can go into the 200 butterfly knowing he needs to do the first 50 in 24.6 to break the record and can put that time in his head and make his body do 24.6 exactly.”
He always did his swimming homework. “In high school, they’d send tapes from his international races,” Ms. Phelps said. “He’d say, ‘Mom I want to have dinner in front of the TV and watch tapes.’ We’d sit and he’d critique his races. He’d study the turns — ‘See, that’s where I lifted my head.’ I couldn’t even see what he was talking about. Over and over. I’m like, ‘whoa.’ ”
These days, Ms. Phelps, 57, is principal of Windsor Mill, a middle school in Baltimore County. Her A.D.H.D. son is so renowned, she was hired this summer by a pharmaceutical firm, Ortho-McNeil-Janssen, as a “celebrity mom” who will answer questions about her experiences with A.D.H.D. on a company-sponsored Web site.
While the company makes an A.D.H.D. medication, Concerta, and arranged my interview with Ms. Phelps, during our three hours together, Ms. Phelps never mentioned the drug. Nor did her son ever take it. Like so many parents, she seemed conflicted about having given her son any medication. “There were so many things going on at the time — the divorce, Michael’s maturity, we changed school districts,” she said. “Were meds the right thing? I could be on the fence either way. That was the decision that was made.”
More to the point, I think, is the moral of her story, which offers hope for parents of any child with a challenge like A.D.H.D.: Too many adults looked at Ms. Phelps’s boy and saw what he couldn’t do. This week, the world will be tuned to the Beijing Olympics to see what he can do.

Parenting advice from Michael Phelps' Mother

“I said, maybe he’s bored,” Ms. Phelps recalled saying to his teacher. “Her comment to me — ‘Oh, he’s not gifted.’ I told her I didn’t say that, and she didn’t like that much. I was a teacher myself so I didn’t challenge her, I just said, ‘What are you going to do to help him?’ ”
In the elementary grades at their suburban Baltimore school, Ms. Phelps said, Michael excelled in things he loved — gym and hands-on lessons, like science experiments. “He read on time, but didn’t like to read,” she said. “So I gave him the Baltimore Sun sports pages, even if he just read the pictures and captions.”
She will never forget one teacher’s comment: “This woman says to me, ‘Your son will never be able to focus on anything.’ ”
His grades were B’s and C’s and a few D’s.
It was a tough period. Ms. Phelps and her husband, a state trooper, were divorcing. She had just gone back to school to get a master’s degree to become an administrator, she said, and at the same time she had to be the 24/7 parent.
Michael grew like crazy, but not evenly — his ears looked huge, and when he ran, his arms swung below his knees. (He was on his way to being 6 feet 4 inches tall with an arm span of 6 feet 7 inches.) Kids bullied him, and when he whacked one on the school bus, he was suspended from the bus for several days....
At age 9, Michael was put on Ritalin, a stimulant used to treat hyperactivity.
His mother thinks it helped a little. “He seemed to be able to focus longer,” she said. “He could get through homework without moving around so much.” She said he was still a middling student. “It might have raised some C’s to B’s,” she said. But if a homework assignment had to be at least four sentences, she said, “he’d just do four sentences.”
After two years, Michael asked to get off the meds. He had to go to the school nurse’s office to take a pill at lunch, she said, and felt stigmatized. “Out of the blue, he said to me: ‘I don’t want to do this anymore, Mom. My buddies don’t do it. I can do this on my own.’ ”
“I was always stern as a parent,” she said, “but from Day 1, I included my children as part of the decision process. So I listened.” After consulting with Dr. Wax, Michael stopped medication.
