Modi government has accepted 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) recommendations at cost of 0.65 % of
GDP i.e. about Rs102100 crore from tax payers pocket. I don't know, what was
the hurry to take such a huge burden, especially when the economy is under
recession? Following adverse affects may be faced in near future:
• Lesser fund will be available for plan
expenditure.
• Further increase of market price and
miseries to poor, middle class and private sector workers due to the sudden
infusion large amount to a small section of people.
• Encourage corruption and frustration to
State Govt Employee/Officers of poor states like West Bengal, Tripura etc who
will unable to increase their staff’s salary in line with CPC.
For example, in West Bengal a divisional
accountant deputed from GOI under Executive Engineer of respective engineering
division, a joint secretary of nominated IAS under special secretary of state
cadre etc in different department will get almost double salary than their
office master! Nobody knows how hierarchy of such offices will function. It
will simply frustrate the honest and efficient state govt officers and result
may be disastrous on developmental projects!
