The all speculations by the media that govt may increase the 7th CPC Minimum Pay and Fitment Factor, again proved as false news. Ministry of Finance has submitted a written reply to a question in parliament stating that govt is not considering any proposal to increase in minimum Pay and fitment factor recommended by 7th Central Pay Commission. See the details of Rajysabha Question

1170 . Shri Neeraj Shekhar
(a) whether Government is actively contemplating to increase minimum pay from Rs.18,000/- to Rs.21,000/- and fitment factor from 2.57 to 3, in view of resentment among Central Government employees over historically lowest increase in pay by 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC);

COMMENTS
It is a foregone conclusion that this govt led by shri Modiji is against giving any benefit to CG employees and pensioners as may be seen from the facts how they have watered down the reasonable recommendations of the 7th CPC. There is no alternative except to express their resentment and opposition to this ruling outfit in the ensuing General Elections which are not far off. All the CG employees and pensioners along with their families and friends should show their strength to see that this party should not get elected. Good Luck and good Wishes to one and all !!!
