Removal of Grade Pay System in 7th Pay Commission – A detailed report
Will the removal of Grade Pay System by the 7th Pay Commission help Central Government employees? – This is the topic of this article.
“Unconfirmed reports say that the 7th Pay Commission is very
likely to recommend the abolishing of the Grade Pay System
introduced by the 6th Pay Commission.”
Not only the Government, but the Central Government
employees too are hoping and wishing that the 7th Pay
Commission functions independently, free from
interventions. The report of the previous Pay Commissions
will guide for determining the revision of pay scale and pay
bands, allowances, retirement benefits and other facilities/
benefits of more than 50 lakh employees. The Pay
Commission also considers the recommendations,
suggestions and inputs gathered from employees all over
the country and presented as memorandums by federations
like the NC JCM and the Confederation.
There is no rule that the new Pay Commission has to follow
the same methodology and determination followed by the
previous Pay Commissions. Therefore, one cannot state for
sure that the 7th Pay Commission will tow the guidelines
issued by the 6th or the 5th Pay Commission while deciding
the new pay scale and pay bands.
One has to keep in mind the fact that the 6th Pay
Commission was radically different from the
recommendations and guidelines issued by the 5th Pay
Commission. One has to also remember that a number of
industry experts, who predicted the recommendations of the
6th Pay Commission based on the trends of the previous
Pay Commission, were proved completely wrong.
If one Pay Commission has the right to recommend the
splitting of the Pay Scale into two, the next Pay Commission
has all the powers to completely abolish the system. But,
this is not the issue!
Will the Central Government employees benefit by the
removal of the Grade Pay system? This is the question now.
It is unacceptable that a promotion, which comes
after waiting for many years, brings with it an
increment of just Rs.100.
None has until now accepted the splitting of the
promotional hierarchy, which had been followed
for years, into two.
The anomalies that prevailed due to the ‘Grade
Pay Hierarchy’ which was introduced under the
MACP promotional system, still remain
unresolved.
When the discussions and debates on MACP
system continued to grow unabated during the
NC JCM Anomaly Committee meeting, it was
decided that a separate meeting ought to be heldto analyze this issue.Most of the individual requests from the central government employees this time are about the MACP promotional system. The reason is the
Grade Pay structure introduced by the 6th Pay
Commission.And also can list out many reasons to abolish the Grade Pay System.
