7th Pay Commission: Reasons of delay in implementation

7th Pay Commission: Here are the reasons why govt delaying implementation of ‘increment’ process

New Delhi, April 9: Central Government employees must be wondering why Centre is taking so much time to implement Seventh Pay Commission recommendations.

It’s already four months since Pay Commission had submitted its report to Finance Ministry to give final touch to it.

Though, Modi Government recently dropped enough hint that it will implement increment process soon, but no particular time frame was given to the Central staff.

Here are the possible reasons why Government is taking time to implement the hike.

Government needs to arrange fund
As Rs 1.02 lakh crore is needed to implement whole increment process, Centre needs to have proper strategy for the same.

At a time when OROP’s expenditures is already taking toll on the exchequer, pay Commission will put extra burden on the government budget.

Grievances of various stakeholders
Government needs to address grievances of various stakeholders including government staff and Army men before taking final call on the same.
