Govt plans to increase 7th CPC minimum pay from Rs.18000 to Rs.21000 is just a rumour
Suddenly a news about increasing minimum pay from Rs. 18000 to Rs. 21000 is floating in some websites. All such news items come with the claim of that ‘the sources close to Finance Ministry on condition of anonymity told government Is planning to increase the minimum wage from Rs. 18000 to Rs. 21000. We are also flooded with queries of whether this news is true or false.
As for as we are concerned we came to know that there was no such plan under consideration of central government. Some websites might have posted this news on vested interest or by misunderstanding the amendment made in payment of wages act.
Recently a amendment was made in payment of wages act to increase the wage limit to Rs.24000 for applicability of sub section 6 of section 1 of Payment of wages act 1936. (see the amendment)
This might have been misunderstood by some media that central government is going to increase minimum pay to Rs.21000.
We asked some leaders in NCJCM side, they told that they haven’t any idea about the news and the authenticity of sources of that news.

The sole purpose of this fake news is to divert the minds of govt. employees so that they get the feeling that something is comingfor betterment of employees. Nothing more than that.
Please ask them to implement what ever may be soon. No such rumors will be online
very nice
This type of fake news might have disheartened many from both working staff as pensioners. Pressure need to be optimised towards Govt. to increase the minimum pay of Central Govt. employees/pensioners which is legitimate and genuine
