The Union Cabinet will
take a decision on the suggestions of a special committee which has been set up
to look into the provision of allowances under the 7th Central Pay Commission
recommendations, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said.
Replying to a question
on the pay commission in Rajya Sabha, the minister said the government has
decided that the recommendations on allowances, other than dearness allowance,
will be examined by a committee headed by Finance Secretary as Chairman and Secretaries
of Home Affairs, Defence, Health and Family Welfare among others as its
members.
The committee, which
was constituted on July 22, has been asked to submit its report within
four months. Its first meeting took place on August 4.
“As far as allowances
are concerned, 51 have been abolished while 37 have been subsumed. As the
measures are radical in nature, even the employees’ unions have given their
suggestions in the matter and therefore a special committee has been formed to
look into it. Whatever the committee decides, it will go to the Cabinet,”
Jaitley said.
The matters relating
to pay and pension as decided by the government have been implemented with
effect from January one this year.
