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 on Tuesday.
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 chairperson 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.
