(SHRI ARJUN RAM MEGHWAL)
(SHRI ARJUN RAM MEGHWAL)
(a) to (d): The Committee on Allowances has been constituted
vide order dated 22.07.2016. The Committee is to examine and make
recommendations as to whether any changes in the recommendations of the 7th CPC
relating to allowances are warranted and if so, in what form. The Committee has
received a large number of demands on allowances and even now receives demands
in this regards. All the demands have been diligently examined. The Committee
has already held 13 meetings so far and interacted with the representatives of
Central Nodal Ministries, National Council (Staff Side), Joint Consultative
Machinery (JCM) and officers and representatives of employee associations of
Ministry of Health and Family welfare, Home Affairs, Railways, Defence and
Department of Posts. The Committee has taken more time than was initially
prescribed in view of the large number of demands received. The Committee is
now in the process of finalizing its Report. Decisions on implementing the
Report will be taken after the Report is submitted by the Committee.
