Govt likely to table the 7th pay commission report before Cabinet next month; notification to come soon
Central government employees can expect to get some good news trickling in from government sources towards the end of June.
As per reports, the Finance Ministry is likely to table the 7th Pay Commission report to the Cabinet for approval in the last week of June.
The 7th pay panel headed by AK Mathur had recommended the minimum salary for central government employees at Rs 18,000 and maximum salary at Rs 2,50,000. As employees protested against the wage hike calling it the “lowest ever” raise, the government set up the Empowered Committee of Secretaries group to review the AK Mathur-panel’s recommendations.
The Empowered Committee of Secretaries on the Seventh Central Pay Commission is expected to soon wrap up its report on the remuneration of government employees.
Sources added that even the Prime Minister’s Office is keen on a favourable pay hike for the central government employees, so the panel is likely to recommend a minimum salary at Rs 24,000 and the highest salary at Rs 2,70,000.
Sources added that the government is exploring options for meeting the additional payout over and above what was recommended by the 7th pay panel. The payout could be substantial with salary hike and arrears adding up to a Rs 1.02 lakh crore burden on government finances.
Report add that once the report moves from the table of the empowered group of committee to the cabinet, there is no reason why the cabinet would inordinately delay it.
The Finance Ministry is keen that higher salaries reach government employees just before the festive season starting mid-August, as spurt in consumption during the festive period will have a domino effect on the economy.

Gamtum karbak says
I don’t agree with the retirement age on 33 yrs service or60 yrs age whichever is earlier because I joined in service in 31st March 1998 and my birth year is 2nd July 1976. That means I have to serve for another 15 yrs only. And if retirement age is on 60 yrs then I shall have to serve for another 20 yrs. I am sncere, devoted in study, govt duty. Never fail ever. As soon as I completed engg. Course I absorbed in govt job at my early age. There by I have long length of service. Those who are failure in class x and XII took more time to complete the course thereby lead them to complete the graduation late age and absorbed in govt job atlate age. Now these peaple will have to do the service unless their age reach 60 yrs. Example:- Some person took 12yrs to complete BE civil, some person of same batch completed BE civil in time. It is obvious that later one will get govt job earlier than the earlier one. But later one would have to retire earlier than the earlier one because his 33 yrs of service length would complete faster than earlier one. And earleir one shall have to wait for 60 yrs of his age.
