Latest Development on 7th CPC recommendations
Latest development on 7th pay commission recommendation is a shocking news but it’s true, because the message is came from National Council JCM. It appears from the discussion between NJCA with Cabinet Secretary  that the recommendation of  Empowered Committee is not going to satisfy the Central government employees.
The copy of the letter of NJCA is reproduced below

Dear Comrades,
As there had been no response from the Government to our communication dated 2nd May, 2016, we decided to seek an appointment with the Cabinet Secretary. Accordingly a delegation consisting of the following members of the NJCA met Cabinet Secretary, Shrl P.K. Sinha on 26. May 2016.
Com. Shiva Gopal Misra Com.
Guman Singh
Corn. K.K.N. Rutty
From the discussions, it appears that, the Empowered Committee has made up their mind to recommend to the Government a slight increase in the Minimum Wage. No indication was however given as to the consequential revision of the Fitment Formula and Pay Matrix. There had also not been any hint about the need to restore the percentage of the HRA, which the 7th CPC has recommended for reduction. On Advances and Allowances, abolished, the Government might be advised to set up a committee to go into the matter and make suggestions. In the matter of the New Contributory Pension Scheme also, the Government might refer the demand to a committee.
On the question of pension benefit to the retired personnel, who are covered by the defined benefit pension scheme, the Cabinet secretary indicated that, both the Department of Pension and Defence Ministry were of the firm view that the first option recommended by the 7th CPC to bring about the parity with the past pensioners being infeasible and impracticable (due to the non-availability of the requisite records) might not be accepted and acted upon.
Surprised over this development, the delegation requested for an official formal meeting of the Standing Committee so that the considered views of the Staff Side could be presented. The delegation informed to the Cabinet Secretary that, non-acceptance of the recommendation of the 7th CPC in the case of pensioners will be extremely disappointing for them and will give rise to avoidable discontent. The Cabinet Secretary suggested to the Staff Side to reach out to the Department of Pension and Ministry of Defence in’ the matter. So far he is concemed; he is an open minded on this subject, provided it is workable.
The National JCA will meet on 3rd June 2016 at New Delhi to consider these developments and take appropriate decision.

Views about Service Records : The fact is that all service records may not be at one place…This may be examined to over come implementation difficulties in the next ten years…9791186182(R)
ISHWARI 1.6.2016 Actually certain officers cannot imagine/ realize the hardship of those living with FIXED amount of earning. Commission is more competent, intelligent and powerful than the empowered Committee. Modi ji has also promised to improve the report. Govt is wise enough. Things will certainly improve for Pensioners. Wait for one month.
As regards to record, Pensioner’s service records are safe with Pension sanctioning authority. There are record management rules. Let them certify on oath that records are not available with them and face the music. Please don’t support this problem.
Nothing to worry. Things will certainly improve for Pensioners.
How it was workable for ex service men and was feasible and practicable and not workable infeasible and impracticable for civilian pensioners. The formula applied for the ex servicemen should be applied for civilian pensioners also. What records are not available? . This is nothing but step motherly treatment. Dont know why Defence Ministry alone is consulted ?
