न्यूनतम वेतन और फिटमेंट फैक्टर में वृद्धि
1170. श्री नीरज शेखर:
क्या वित्त मंत्री यह बताने की कृपा करेंगे कि:
(क) क्या सरकार केन्द्र सरकार के कर्मचारियों की नाराजगी और सातवें केन्द्रीय वेतन आयोग द्वारा वेतन में अब तक की सबसे कम वृद्धि किए जाने को ध्यान में रखते हुए न्यूनतम वेतन को 18000/- रुपए से बढ़ाकर 21000/- रुपए करने और फिटमेंट फैक्टर को 2.57 से बढ़ाकर 3 करने पर सक्रियता से विचार कर रही है;
(ख) यदि हां, तो तत्संबंधी ब्यौरा क्या है और यह किस तारीख से लागू होगा; और
(ग) यदि नहीं, तो सरकारी कर्मचारियों के प्रति सरकार के उदासीन रवैये के क्या कारण हैं?
उत्तर
वित्त मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री (श्री पी. राधाकृष्णन)
(क), (ख) और (ग): 18000/- रुपए प्रति माह का न्यूनतम वेतन और 2.57 का फिटमेंट गुणांक 7वें केन्द्रीय वेतन आयोग द्वारा संगत कारकों को ध्यान में रखते हुए की गई विशिष्ट सिफारिशों पर आधारित हैं। इसलिए, इस समय इसमें किसी परिवर्तन पर विचार नहीं किया जा रहा है।

Retired as Director India Meteorological Department December 1992. The arrears due for revision from January 1, 2016 up to date is still due. Not yet cleared by PAO Earth Sciences Chennai located in Regional Met Center Chennai. CPAO Delhi wants that before asking RT Nagar Branch Bangalore to pay me the arrears.

Patal Das says
Some of media houses have been making fools with their flash news which is not only false but baseless. This Govt does not like its administrative staff to become happy with their pay package. The Govt should know that it can maintain good governance only when the working staff remain happy.
