6th Pay Commission Report – Salient features
More than five million central government employees benefited by the 6th Pay Commission Report
The Union cabinet had approved the recommendations of the sixth pay panel suggestions on 14 August and had made several improvements over the original suggestions made by the central pay panel.
The notification means that the central government employees are all set to receive the revised pay as approved by the government from September 1, giving a much needed relief to central government employees who like others have been hit hard by increasing inflation and spiraling prices.
The implementation of the pay panel recommendations would require huge amount of money that experts say would increase the deficit. The financial implications in 2008-09 on account of the implementation of the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission as modified by the Cabinet will be around Rs.15700 crore on the Central Budget and Rs.6400 crore on the Railway Budget
It is being said that modification of the Pay Commission award will cost the exchequer an additional Rs 5,000 crore towards annual wages and Rs 6,000 crore towards arrears, said Expenditure Secretary Sushma Nath.
The notification issued by the government today says, “With regard to fixation of pay in the revised pay bands, the basic pay drawn as on 1.1.2006 on the existing fifth CPC pay scales will be multiplied by a factor of 1.86 and then rounded off to next multiple of 10. this will be the pay in the revised running pay band. Grade pay as approved by the corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale will then be added to the pay in the revised pay band. The total of pay in the pay band and grade pay will be the revised basic pay as on 1.1.2006.
Increment: rate of annual increment will be modified from 2.5% recommended by the commission to 3% and the rate of variable increment for high achievers in PB-3 will be 4% instead of 3.5% recommended by the commission.
Campus restriction for grant of transport allowance will be removed. Consequently employees living in campuses will also be eligible for transport allowance. Further transport allowance for the employees at the lowest levels will be increased to Rs 600 from existing Rs 400 in A-1/A class cities and Rs 400 from existing Rs 300 in other towns.
Three up gradation will be granted under assured career progression (ACP) scheme at 10, 20 and 30 years as per the modified ACP scheme recommended by the commission. ACP scheme will also be applicable to group A employees.
After 4 years of regular services in the entry grade of Rs 4800 in PB-2 officers belonging to Delhi and Andaman and Nicobar Islands police service will be granted the non-functional grade of Rs 5400 in PB3 and not in PB-2.
After 4 years of regular service in the section officer/ private secretary/equivalent grade of Rs 4800 grade pay in PB-2 officers of central secretariat service, central secretariat stenographers service and other similarly placed HQ services will be granted the non-functional grade of Rs 5400 in PB3 and not in PB-2.
The commission’s recommendation regarding payment of arrears has been modified to the extent that the arrears will be paid in cash in two installments - first installment of 40% during the current financial year 2008-09 and the remaining 60 percent in the next financial year 2009-10.
Notification of sixth pay commission exhibits huge anomalies and differences in pay enhancements of class III &class II. Anomalies are as follows:-
1) IN class I grade pay has been exorbitantly changed but same has not been done for class III & class II. For example grade pay of class I of 6100 has been changed to 6600, 6600 to 7600 7600 to 8700, 9000to 10000, 11000 to %of whole structure and 12000.
2) Class I employees will get to additional increment on promotion but the same are not available for class III & class II employees.
3) Pay band of all class one has been exorbitantly enhanced but poor class III & class II has been provided to live on bras and salt to survive in this great inflationary 13% economy.

Dear Careerman,
I can not understand what harm have Class I employees caused to you.
But the matter of fact is, when you are writing such an article called 6th Pay Commission Report - Salient Features, you by no means have any moral or social right to urge something so stupid, like ‘class one has nothing to do except seating in ac chamber pastime’. It all depicts your immaturity of writing anything without any thought. Your so called class I employees also include some who work for 15 hours a day and who are still working without having much concern about the pay commission report.
So from the next time you start playing with your keyboard, keep in mind, there are people who are working hard for the country and not to read your GENERALIZED and PUERILE IDIOTIC comments.

“WHY SO GREAT DISCRIMINATION WITH CLASS III & CLASS II WHICH CONSTITUTE 95% of total workforce and are the real earners of all department where as class one has nothing to do except seating in ac chamber pastime.
IF GEADE PAY OF CLASS III AND CLASS II IS NOT INCREASED THIS IMPLEMENTATION HAS NO MEANING FOR OUR BROTHRENS.BE PREPARED FOR AGITATION AGAINST THIS TORTUROUS DISCRIMINATION.”
I am not happy the spc has treated AF&AO of ICAR. They are now placed below their coumter part i.e Section Officers. One AF&AO is head of finance and Accounts wing in many ICAR institute but s.o. is not head of Administration still they are allowed more. Having joined Asstt. 23 years back I am still in the placed below my original crossponding scale i.e 1640-2900 upgraded to 5500( 5cp)now my scale is put along with 5000-8000i.e revised to 9300-34800 with graded pay 4200. shame on the part of 6 p.c. report
