heyya dear....
The Government of India have been considering for some time past the changes that have taken place in the structure of emoluments of Government employees over the years. Conditions have also changed in several respects since the last Pay Commission made its report in 1997. Accordingly, it has been decided to appoint the Sixth Central Pay Commission comprising of the following:
1 Chairman Mr. Justice B.N.Srikrishna
2 Member Prof. Ravindra Dholakia
3 Member Mr. J.S.Mathur
4 Member-Secretary Smt. Sushama Nath
It is an administrative system/mechanism that the Government of India set up in 1956 to determine the salaries of government employees.
The First Pay Commission was established in 1956, and since then, every decade has seen the birth of a commission that decides the wages of government employees for a particular time-frame.
For instance, the recommendations of the Fourth Pay Commission covered the period between 1986 and 1996. The Fifth Pay Commission covered the period between 1996 and this year.
For the last two years, Communist leaders and trade unions have been demanding the setting up of such a commission.
Last year, the government set up a committee to study the demand.
The committee, headed by Cabinet Secretary B K Chaturvedi, turned down the request for constituting the Sixth Pay Commission. The committee said the Centre might not be able to bear the additional burden and the states were just recovering from the impact of the Fifth Pay Commission, whose recommendations were implemented in 1997.
The Twelfth Finance Commission also urged the government to stop the practice of increasing salaries by appointing pay commissions every 10 years.
This is what Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had to say: 'We have decided this. The last pay commission was set up in 1994. The time has now come for a new commission. We are preparing for it.'
Congress sources say the rising political pressure from the Communists -- key partners in the United Progressive Alliance coalition -- has prompted Prime Minister Singh to announce the new pay commission
New Delhi now argues the Sixth Pay Commission will not adversely affect the states as they are sitting on cash surpluses close to Rs 400 billion.
