Report of the Seventh Central Pay Commission
Growth over an Eight Year Period
Summary
Table 10: Per Capita Expenditure of Pay and Allowances
Table 11:Ministries with Highest Per Capita Expenditure on Pay and Allowances
The Commission accordingly recommends that the Department of Posts budget and account for remuneration of Gramin Dak Sevaks under a head distinct from
‘Salaries,’ as they are not reckoned as Central Government employees.
In this regard the Commission is of the view that a clear guidance from the government on jobs that can and should be contracted out would be
appropriate. While doing so the concerns of confidentiality and accountability may be kept in view. Further, to bring about continuity and to address
the concerns regarding exploitation of contractual manpower, uniform guidelines/model contract agreements may be devised by the government.

Analysis of Central Government
Personnel
3.1 The Seventh CPC has been mandated by its terms of reference to examine, review and recommend changes in the principles that govern the emoluments
structure for a number of employees’ categories viz., Central Government employees, those belonging to All India Services, personnel of Union Territories,
officers and employees of the Indian Audit and Accounts Department, Members of Regulatory Bodies, Officers and employees of the Supreme Court and personnel
belonging to the Defence Forces. The focus of the Commission is primarily on personnel serving the Central Government. Therefore an essential aspect of the
work of the Commission involved obtaining a clear picture of the size, composition and profile of Central Government personnel.

work of the Commission involved obtaining a clear picture of the size, composition and profile of Central Government personnel.
Background
3.2 The III, IV and V CPCs undertook an analysis of the composition of Central Government personnel. The III CPC, in its Chapter titled ‘Employment under
Central Government,’ analysed the distribution of posts among major departments; distribution of posts in terms of classes-I, II, III and IV (as was
classified at that time); distribution of posts among permanent and temporary and distribution of employees according to pay ranges.

classified at that time); distribution of posts among permanent and temporary and distribution of employees according to pay ranges.
3.3 The IV CPC, in a separate Chapter titled ‘Civil Employment under the Central Government,’ analysed the strength of the civil Central Government broadly
in terms of (a) distribution of posts in terms of major departments (b) distribution of posts in terms of groups-Group `A’, Group `B’, Group `C’ and Group
`D’ (c) distribution of industrial workers in terms of major departments and (d) distribution of permanent and temporary posts by major departments.

3.4 The V CPC in its Chapter titled ‘Size of employment under Central Government’ analysed the strength of the civil Central Government broadly on the
lines of the IV CPC, adding greater details. It concluded inter alia that the statistics did not provide pointers to whether “the bureaucracy as a
whole is ‘bloated’ or not.” It did however note that the rate of growth had been arrested and that the government, if it had the will, could reduce
manpower. It also supported the trend towards an officer oriented administration.

3.5 The VI CPC Report did not carry a separate analysis of Central Government personnel.
Approach of this Commission
3.6 The Commission decided to elicit data relating to personnel from all ministries/departments so as to get a comprehensive view on personnel serving the
government in terms of certain broad attributes. To do so data on personnel position over time was sought along with their age profile. Further, in the
context of implementation of the National Pension System w.e.f 01.01.2004, disaggregation in terms of those recruited before or after this event was
sought. Information was also obtained regarding expenditure on pay and allowances of personnel working in the Central Government; extent of deployment of
contractual staff and training and skill development of personnel. The data template in which information was sought is at Annex A, B, C, D1 and D2.

3.7 To ensure integrity of data the Commission validated the data on personnel with reference to other data sources in the government on personnel viz., –
(a) Expenditure Budget, Volume 1, Annex 7 of the Ministry of Finance and (b) Census of government employees prepared by the Directorate General of
Employment and Training, Ministry of Labour and Employment. While undertaking this exercise infirmities in data as and where noticed were reconciled in
consultation with the ministries/departments. With regard to expenditure on personnel the ministries/departments were requested to furnish this data after
having it vetted by their Chief Controller of Accounts.

3.9 The Commission has obtained data regarding 33.02 lakh Central Government civil personnel, in Civil Ministries/Departments, Defence (Civilians), Posts
and Railways[The Commission estimates that the data received by it covers over 99 percent of all Central Government civilian personnel.]. The
analysis includes 0.77 lakh personnel of Delhi Police, who are paid salaries from the Police grant of the Ministry of Home Affairs. A separate section has
been added on contracted manpower in the government.

Defining a Central Government Employee
3.10 The III CPC had attempted to define who is a Central Government employee. It stated that “All persons in the civil services of the Central Government or holding civil posts under that government and paid out of the Consolidated Fund of India.”3.11 The Commission is in broad agreement with what has been stated in the III CPC Report.
For the purposes of its work, the Commission defines Central Government employees as all persons in the civil services of the Central Government or
holding civil posts under that government and paid Salaries out of the Consolidated Fund of India. This however, does not include such persons
appointed to serve Parliament or the Union Judiciary.
Views of Important Stakeholders on Central Government Personnel
3.12 The Commission has received representations/memoranda on issues that broadly involve the strength, deployment and expenditure on Central Government
personnel.3.13 Joint Consultative Machinery-Staff Side: On the size and nature of government, the JCM-Staff Side has made the
following submissions to the Commission:
personnel.3.13 Joint Consultative Machinery-Staff Side: On the size and nature of government, the JCM-Staff Side has made the
following submissions to the Commission:
i. Majority of Central Government employees (88 percent) are either industrial or operational staff and therefore the contention that wage bill of the
Central Government is for administrative purpose is ill conceived.
ii. Existence of a large array of personnel employed by the government through contract, pushing a major segment of government functions into informal
sector.
iii. Expenditure on pay and allowances over the years as a percentage of revenue receipts and revenue expenditure has been falling.
Focus Areas of the Commission
3.14 Based on the data provided by the ministries/departments the Commission has examined and analysed trends with regard to five focus area:
1.
Size of government- Sanctioned Strength and Persons in Position
2.
Personnel in Position, in terms of categories
3.
Personnel in Position, recruited before and on or after 01.01.2004
4.
Age Profile of Central Government Personnel as on 01.01.2014
5.
Expenditure on Pay and Allowances of Central Government Personnel 3.15 There is a separate Section devoted to Contractual Manpower in the Central
Government.
3.16 To strike a balance between the two ends of aggregation and details, in addition to the broad totals, particulars of the nine largest
ministries/departments plus others has been included in each Section. In addition, wherever appropriate, instances of some outliers in each category have
been brought out.

Size of Government- Sanctioned Strength and Persons in Position
3.17 The Commission has received data from ministries/departments on the strength of personnel in the government at three points of time viz., 01.01.2006,
01.01.2010 and 01.01.2014. The data on strength of personnel in government has been reviewed and material from successive CPC Reports have been put
together to bring out the position as has evolved over time.

Sanctioned Strength of Government over time
3.18 The IV and V CPC Reports provide a picture on the size of the government starting from 1957. With the data available the Commission is able to present
a picture on the sanctioned strength of the Central Government, spanning a 57 year time frame from 1957 to 2014.

adopted.
3.21 The data in the table/graph points to the following:
i. Steady increase till 1994: The sanctioned strength of personnel in the Central Government increased significantly from
17.37 lakh in 1957 to 29.82 lakh in 1971. The pace of growth slowed thereafter with the sanctioned strength increasing to 37.87 lakh in 1984 and 41.76 lakh
in 1994.
ii. Corporatisation after 1994: Some reduction in sanctioned strength of personnel has been witnessed after 1994- it came
down to 37.01 lakh in 2006. The decline subsequent to 1994 has been on account of the corporatisation in the telecommunications sector and creation of the
PSU Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited.
iii. Decline in strength of Railways, Communications: The personnel strength of the Railways, which accounted for 57
percent of total sanctioned strength in 1957, gradually declined to 40 percent in 2014. Defence Civilian and Communications segments have also witnessed
decline in their share during the period.
iv. Sharp increase in ‘Others’: The category ‘Others’ has witnessed a sharp growth in sanctioned strength from 2.82 lakh
in 1957 to 14.94 lakh in 2014. The significant contributor to this growth has been increase in strength under the Ministry of Home Affairs from 3.25 lakh
in 1984 to 9.72 lakh in 2014.
3.22 The Ministry wise particulars of sanctioned strength, persons in position and vacancies as on 01.01.2014 has been detailed in Annex-1.

#MHA- Ministry of Home Affairs, IA&AD–Indian Audit and Accounts Department
*Ministry of Health has provided data only for the year 2014. For consistency these figures have been adopted for the years 2006 and 2010.
3.24 One of the notable aspects of the present deployment of Central Government personnel is that security related entities (Ministry of Home
Affairs/Police and Defence Civilians) form a large part of civilian employment at 13.78 lakh as on 01.01.2014. Railways and Posts performing a commercial
function employ another 15.06 lakh personnel. The total Central Government employment other than those in security related or commercial departments, as on
01.01.2014 is 4.18 lakh. In fact the number of personnel working in the Secretariat of
ministries/departments, after excluding independent/statutory entities, attached and
subordinate offices will add up to less than thirty thousand{ The strength of CSS (Directors, Under Secretaries, Section Officers, Assistants), CSSS (PPS,
PS, Stenographers), CSCS (LDC and UDC) etc. in September 2015 was 23,860. Added to it would be about 1500 officers in the posts of Secretaries/Additional
Secretaries/Joint Secretaries, Directors and Deputy Secretaries under the Central Staffing Scheme. Some technical posts also exist in a few ministries/
departments.}. The ‘core’ of the government, so to say, is actually very small for the Government of India, taken as a whole.

Size and Deployment of Personnel: USA and India
3.28 Available literature indicates that the size of the non-postal civilian workforce for the US Federal Government in the year 2012 was 21.30 lakh{
Report of the Government Accountability Office (GAO) on Federal Workforce- Recent Trends in Federal Civilian Employment and Compensation, January 2014.}.
This includes civilians working in US defence establishments. The corresponding persons in position in India for the Central Government in 2014 was 17.96

Growth over an Eight Year Period
3.31 In case of USA, during the eight year period 2004 through 2012 the non-postal civilian work force grew by 2.5 lakh from 18.8 lakh to 21.3 lakh,
representing an increase of 13 percent. In case of India, we have considered an eight year period 2006 to 2014 and it has been observed that

b. In the US as well as in India, there is a concentration of personnel in a handful of departments, more so in India.
Reasons for Steady Decline in PIP in Recent Years
3.34 The primary reason for the steady decline in the personnel strength of the Central Government, other than in Ministry of Home Affairs/Police, are the
guidelines issued by the Department of Personnel and Training in May 2001 on optimisation of direct recruitment to civilian posts, which were in operation
from May 2001 to March 2009. As per these guidelines fresh recruitment was to be restricted to one percent of total civilian staff strength and with three
percent of staff retiring each year the manpower reduced by two percent per annum. The objective was to achieve a reduction of 10 percent in staff strength
in five years.

percent of staff retiring each year the manpower reduced by two percent per annum. The objective was to achieve a reduction of 10 percent in staff strength
in five years.
3.35 The impact of the instructions on optimisation of direct recruitment to civilian posts was reviewed in the Report of the VI CPC. It made the following
recommendations in para 6.3.10 of its report: “The Commission has recommended multi skilling of the government employees which would increase their operational efficiency while simultaneously optimising the staff
strength. It is, however, noted that while rightsizing in government is necessary given the changes in work process due to technology and consequent
reduction of layers, a blanket ban on filling of vacant posts across the board can impact effective functioning. More flexibility is required in this
policy for effective service delivery and care has to be taken that administrative delivery structures do not become hollow or thin in critical areas.
It is, therefore, essential that the government revise the Annual Direct Recruitment Plan (ADRP) in terms of which only one third of the vacancies can
be filled up. This instruction has resulted in an aging bureaucracy which does not easily adapt itself to technology. An active and younger profile in
government employment is the need of the hour. Further, strengthening of the cutting edge for efficient delivery is required. New guidelines, where
reduction in manpower and levels of fresh manpower intake would be assessed and prioritized by the individual ministry or department keeping its work
processes, service delivery and functional requirements and budgetary savings at centre stage should, therefore, be issued.

3.38 From Table 2 it is evident that the recruitment of civil Central Government personnel rose sharply from 2.87 lakh in the four year period 2006-2010 to
5.71 lakh in the four year period 2010 to 2014. Railways and Police with a total recruitment of 4.63 lakh during the period 2010 to 2014 accounted for 81
percent of all new civilian recruits in the Central Government. While no causality can be established between recruitment during the period 01.01.2010 and
01.01.2014 compared to the period 01.01.2006 and 01.01.2010 and the withdrawal of orders on the Optimisation Scheme, it is notable that recruitment in the
period after 01.01.2010 has been significantly higher.

period after 01.01.2010 has been significantly higher.
3.39 The Commission notes that on an average the intake of new civilian recruits in the Central Government during the period 2006 to 2014 has been slightly
over a lakh each year. The Report of the ‘Working Group on Labour Force and Employment Projections’ constituted for the
Eleventh Five Year Plan estimated that during the period 2012-17 the labour force is projected to increase by 4.46 crore, which translates to an average
increase each year of over 89 lakh. This suggests that the Central Government is at best a marginal source for employment generation. The quantum of intake
of fresh personnel by the Central Government is an insignificant percentage of the total entrants in India’s labour force.

3.40 Recruiting Agencies: The data from ministries/departments with regard to recruitments on or after
01.01.2004 suggests that certain departments which undertake recruitment through their own dedicated Boards/Agencies have shown recruitments of larger
numbers. Examples include Railways, Departments of Posts, Atomic Energy, Space etc.

3.41
The Commission has not obtained data on the skill profile of Central Government employees. It, however, notes that based on the medium term goals and
priorities of the government, a determination of skills and competencies required to meet them, needs to be made across Central Government
ministries/departments. This will have implications both for recruitment policy as well as the size and composition of the government.

Variation in Persons in Position as per Sources Reporting Data on Personnel
3.42 The V CPC, in its Chapter titled ‘Size of employment under Central Government,’ pointed to the varied sources that reported on size of the civilian
Central Government employees together with the fact that “these sources were often dated, not sufficiently comprehensive,
incognate and yield conflicting results.” The examination by this Commission of the existing
data sources confirms the
conclusions arrived at by the V CPC.

3.43 The data received from ministries/departments on the strength of personnel was validated with reference to two sources of data in the government on
personnel- (a) Expenditure Budget, Volume 1, Annex 7 of the Ministry of Finance and (b) Census of government employees prepared by the Directorate General
of Employment and Training (DGET), Ministry of Labour and Employment. The examination of data confirms the view of the V CPC regarding the quality of data.
As an illustration, the position in respect of some ministries/departments where the variation is substantial has been brought out below together with the
reasons, arrived at, after review of the numbers.

Commission, it is dated. In the case of data on personnel in the Expenditure Budget, available each year, the variation in numbers with the actuals as
obtained by the Commission is substantial, as Table 3 testifies.

To ensure integrity and availability of consistent data on personnel in the government, the Commission is of the view that the database on personnel
needs to be standardised on an IT platform, across all civil ministries/departments. This will facilitate ease in compilation, aggregation and make
reliable data readily available to concerned stakeholders.

Persons in Position in Terms of Categories: Groups A, B and C
3.46 All Central Government civil posts of the Union are categorised under the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965.
There are currently three categories of Central Government personnel–Group `A’, Group `B’ and Group `C’. This categorisation is made by the government
based on the pay band and grade pay or the pay scales as applicable.

3.49 Tables 4 and 5 bring out the following:
i. Of the total 33.02 lakh civilian workforce 89 percent are in Group `C’, 8 percent are in Group `B’ and 3 percent are in Group `A’.
ii. While 89 percent of civilian Central Government personnel are in Group `C’, the Railways, Department of Posts and MHA have a significantly higher
proportion in Group `C’ at 99 percent, 96 percent and 92 percent respectively.

3.50 The Ministry-wise particulars of composition of personnel in terms of Group `A’, `B’ and `C’ are detailed in Annex 4
3.51 The Commission notes that in addition to details on composition of personnel in

Personnel in Position, Recruited Before or on or After 01.01.2004
3.52 About a decade back the government notified the defined contribution National Pension System which became effective for all employees entering Central
Government on or after 01.01.2004, except those in the three defence forces. Thus, as on date, there are two categories of serving civil Central Government
personnel – those covered by the earlier defined benefits scheme- viz., pre 01.01.2004 appointees and those covered by the defined contribution scheme
viz., those appointed on or after 01.01.2004 (post 01.01.2004 recruits).

i. Of the total 11.14 lakh post 01.01.2004 recruits, Ministry of Home Affairs, Railways, Defence (Civilians) and Posts accounted for 10.16 lakh recruits.
ii. All other departments accounted for 0.98 lakh new recruits- about 9 percent of all new recruits.
3.54 Post 01.01.2004 Recruits and Defined Contribution Pension: For all civil recruits in the Central Government recruited on or after 01.01.2004, the government and the employee each make a ten percent contribution of the
basic pay and dearness allowance towards the pension fund accumulation of the employee. The government contribution{ Excluding Railways.} for the defined
contribution pension scheme has been 924 crore in 2011-12, 1,200 crore in 2012-13 and 1,600 crore in 2013-14 respectively.

Age Profile of Central Government Personnel as on 01.01.2014
3.55 With a view to determining the age profile of personnel serving in the Central Government, this Commission obtained data of its personnel from each
ministry/department in terms of distinct age groups viz., those less than 20 years, 20-30 years, 30-40 years, 40 to 50 years, 50-60 years and over 60
years.

Note: ‘Others’ accounts for those below 20 years and over 60 years of age.
3.57 Disaggregate Position: While at an aggregate level, which covers all persons in position in the government, the distribution
of personnel in various age groups is quite even, this picture changes significantly when the data is analysed at a disaggregate level. In terms of the
breakup of personnel amongst the largest ministries/departments in terms of age the graph below brings out the position.

# In the age groups, Others includes those below 20 years and over 60 years of age.
i. The composition of personnel in the age groups 20-30 years and 30-40 years is very substantial amongst personnel in MHA.
ii. Larger departments like Railways, MHA (Police), Posts and IA&AD had relatively larger percentages in the 20-30 years age group compared to other
ministries which comprise the rest of the smaller ministries/departments of the government.
ministries which comprise the rest of the smaller ministries/departments of the government.
3.58 Pattern with regard to smaller ministries/departments: On an analysis of the age composition of personnel, the Commission noted a discernible pattern as regards ministries/ departments which were comparatively
smaller. A review of all ministries/departments with persons in positions (PIP) less than 500 was undertaken. The findings pointed to the fact that in most
of these ministries/departments the percentage of personnel in the age group 20-30 years was significantly lower than in the larger departments in the
government.

* Total of PIP in Table 8 is marginally different from PIP in other tables since data on age groups was not furnished by a few ministries/departments.
3.61 Data provided to the Commission indicates an unusually large percentage of personnel in the 50-60 years age group in certain ministries/departments-
75 percent in Textiles, 64 percent in Coal, 62 percent in Urban Development, 60 percent in Petroleum and Natural Gas, 57 percent in Science and Technology,
56 percent in Heavy Industry, 52 percent in New and Renewable Energy, 51 percent in AYUSH and 50 percent in Power. This is a ready pointer to the number of
retirements that would take place in the next ten years.

The Commission notes that losing experienced high level personnel entails unquantifiable costs as new recruits will require training and on the job
skills. At the same time it presents ministries/departments the opportunity to align their personnel requirement in line with their current and future
challenges.

Expenditure on Pay and Allowances: Issues for Review
3.69 With regard to expenditure on pay and allowances for personnel in the Central Government two issues merit specific mention and the Commission is
recommending review of existing arrangements in this regard.
recommending review of existing arrangements in this regard.
3.70 Gramin Dak Sevaks: Examination of the existing classification of expenditure provisions of the
Department of Posts reveals that expenditure on personnel in respect of pay and allowances of regular Central Government personnel serving in the
department as well as that of Gramin Dak Sevaks are clubbed together under the head ‘Salaries.’ Since Gramin Dak Sevaks are not reckoned as Central
Government personnel, expenditure on pay and allowances of this category of personnel should be distinct from regular Central Government personnel.

department as well as that of Gramin Dak Sevaks are clubbed together under the head ‘Salaries.’ Since Gramin Dak Sevaks are not reckoned as Central
Government personnel, expenditure on pay and allowances of this category of personnel should be distinct from regular Central Government personnel.
The Commission accordingly recommends that the Department of Posts budget and account for remuneration of Gramin Dak Sevaks under a head distinct from
‘Salaries,’ as they are not reckoned as Central Government employees.
3.71 Expenditure on Allowances: At present substantial amount of expenditure is being incurred by the Central Government on payment of Allowances to its personnel. Allowances however are not being separately
budgeted or accounted for in the books of the Central Government- they are subsumed in the head “Salaries.” This applies to Civil Ministries, Railways,
Defence Services and Posts. Hence the expenditure on Allowances as is available in some documents like the Expenditure Budget or in publications of the Pay
Research Unit (PRU) is at best an approximation. There is a need for transparent and reliable data on Allowances to be available in public domain. For the purposes of transparency and
availability of information in the public domain, the Commission recommends that a separate Object head may be created to capture expenditure on
Allowances- in Civil, Defence, Railways and Posts.

Contractual Manpower in Government
3.72 The General Financial Rules provide for outsourcing of services in the interest of economy and efficiency. Broad guidance is provided in the Rules on
identification of contractors and the tendering process.
identification of contractors and the tendering process.
There are three kinds of contractual appointments:
i. Tasks of a routine nature, typically those relating to housekeeping, maintenance, related activities, data entry, driving, and so on, which are normally
bundled and entrusted to agencies. These agencies then depute the necessary persons to carry out these tasks.
bundled and entrusted to agencies. These agencies then depute the necessary persons to carry out these tasks.
ii. The VI CPC had recommended introduction of contractual appointments for selected posts, particularly those requiring high professional skills. Under
this, suitable persons from outside could be inducted in the government on negotiated salaries/emoluments.

iii. The third category relates to retirees from government, whose skills, expertise, knowledge that was acquired while in government service is found to
be useful to government, and therefore the services of such persons are taken on a contractual basis for varying lengths of time.
be useful to government, and therefore the services of such persons are taken on a contractual basis for varying lengths of time.
3.73 The Commission had through its Questionnaire sought the views of all stakeholders regarding their experience with outsourcing at various levels in the
government and whether there existed a case for streamlining it. The Commission also sought to ascertain if there existed a clear identification of jobs
that can be outsourced.
government and whether there existed a case for streamlining it. The Commission also sought to ascertain if there existed a clear identification of jobs
that can be outsourced.
3.74 Response of Ministries on Contractual Manpower: The response received by the Commission on the
issue of outsourcing from ministries/departments has been a mixed one. The Department of Personnel and Training has stated that with the removal of the
category of Group D employees, those existing therein were to be moved up to Group `C’ cadre through a process of training. Therefore unskilled functions
in the government sector would be contracted from outsources. The Ministry of Defence stated that the experience of outsourcing in conservancy services and
transport had been quite good. The Department of Atomic Energy while supporting outsourcing, recommended that a standard operating procedure may be
introduced through legislative means to enable outsourcing for routine activities like maintenance, transport services, canteen services etc. through
professional agencies so as to avoid legal complications and exploitation of persons who have been taken on contract. The Central Board of Direct Taxes
(CBDT) also supported outsourcing, though it felt the need for effecting some streamlining. The Ministry of AYUSH also supported outsourcing of routine
administrative works.

(CBDT) also supported outsourcing, though it felt the need for effecting some streamlining. The Ministry of AYUSH also supported outsourcing of routine
administrative works.
3.75 On the other hand, there were a number of ministries/departments whose support for outsourcing was qualified. The Department of Posts stated that
outsourcing in core operation was not suitable since outsourced manpower keep on changing frequently and it is difficult to train them. They were, however,
not against outsourcing for housekeeping, maintenance related activities, driving staff and secretarial assistance. The Department of Economic Affairs was
strongly against outsourcing and stated that it should be used in the rarest of rare case for duties of a peripheral nature. They were clearly against
outsourcing of data processing. They, however, did feel that in the more commonplace functions the experience of outsourcing has been good. The Ministry of
Power stated that outsourcing could only temporarily supplement the requirements of government. They noted their concerns with regard to confidentiality
and accountability of outsourced personnel. However, jobs of drivers, multi-level tasking staff and DEO could be outsourced on need basis. The National
Informatics Centre (NIC) was also against outsourcing stating that it entailed duplication of work done by regular employees.

3.76 Views of JCM-Staff Side: The JCM-Staff Side has, in its memorandum to the Commission, strongly
opposed outsourcing stating that the existence of a large array of personnel employed by the government through contractors is pushing a major segment of
government functions into the informal sector.

3.77 Nature of Deployment: The Commission had sought from all ministries/departments information with
regard to remuneration levels of contacted manpower to ascertain the level of work being assigned to them. In most ministries/departments that have
provided information, it is evident that the nature of jobs being contracted out were of a routine nature, involving a low level of remuneration. However
Department of Electronics and Information Technology did engage a fair number of contractual personnel at higher levels of remuneration.{Remuneration of
over 50,000 per month per person.} Railways and Ministry of Home Affairs also reported deployment of some contract personnel with higher remuneration.

3.79 While the expenditure incurred on contractual manpower is relatively small compared to expenditure on Salaries of personnel serving in the government,
they are in their own right significant and also likely to increase in the coming years. This warrants streamlining the existing regime governing
outsourcing of contracted manpower, as has also been suggested by some ministries.

continue to be outsourced.
In this regard the Commission is of the view that a clear guidance from the government on jobs that can and should be contracted out would be
appropriate. While doing so the concerns of confidentiality and accountability may be kept in view. Further, to bring about continuity and to address
the concerns regarding exploitation of contractual manpower, uniform guidelines/model contract agreements may be devised by the government.
3.81 Earlier in this chapter the fact that in a number of ministries/departments a large percentage of personnel will be retiring in the near future has
been brought out. Loss of experienced high level personnel can entail unquantifiable costs as new recruits will require investment in terms of training,
mentoring etc. In this light utilisation of retiring personnel with suitable skill sets can also be considered.

Conclusions and Recommendations
3.83 The following are the conclusions and recommendations:
i.
The Commission notes that based on the medium term goals and priorities of the government, a determination of skills and competencies required to meet
them, needs to be made across Central Government ministries/departments. This will have implications both for recruitment policy as well as the size
and composition of the government.

and composition of the government.
ii.
To ensure integrity and availability of consistent data on personnel in the government, the Commission is of the view that the database on personnel
needs to be standardised on an IT platform, across all civil ministries/departments. This will facilitate ease in compilation, aggregation and make
reliable data readily available to concerned stakeholders.

iii.
The Commission notes that in addition to details on composition of personnel in terms of the Group `A’, `B’ and `C’ it would be useful both for
purposes of management information and decision making if reliable data on personnel in terms of job families is collected.

purposes of management information and decision making if reliable data on personnel in terms of job families is collected.
iv.
Retiring personnel in a number of ministries/departments are substantial and this presents two sets of implications. At one level losing experienced
high level personnel entails unquantifiable costs as new recruits will require training and on the job skills. At the same time it presents
ministries/departments the opportunity to align their personnel requirement in line with their current and future challenges.

they are not reckoned as Central Government employees.
