Pay Commission Approach in the past
Approach of the Commission | |
1st Pay Commission |  Gave its recommendations in 1948, pre dated the same |
2nd Pay Commission | Â Make an initial assessment using the ILC norms. However, it moderated the minimum pay so calculated in line with the then prevailing per capita income |
3rd Pay Commission | Adopted a modified version of the norms to calculate the minimum pay |
4th Pay Commission | Estimated the minimum pay by applying the growth of total emoluments index on the minimum pay estimated by the III CPC |
5th Pay Commission | Estimated the minimum pay through the ‘Constant Relative Income Approach’ |
6th Pay Commission | adopted the 15th ILC norms to arrive at a base figure, to which was added additional 25 percent for various additional items plus the skill factor. The Commission has thus noted that directly or indirectly, the ILC norms have always been at the core of the minimum pay calculations made by the previous Pay Commissions. The Commission is also of the view that the ILC norms, along with other supplements (the entire set of seven components), are the best approach to estimating the minimum pay as it is a need-based wage calculation that directly costs the requirements, normatively prescribed to ensure a healthy and a dignified standard of living. |
mathur and other members of the 7th pay commission who prepared report dont have any family responsibilities either they are bachelors or vagabounds, literate fools what the pay commission they recommend is nothing but a piece of shit. they dont know how middile class people”s struggle in there day to day life, they just care about BABUS and these substandard political party NDA{BJP etc} who on the name of HINDUTWA destroy the lifes of dalits and other downtrodden people by getting corporated central government organisation by avoiding due reservation post which is suppose to be filled by reserved caste dalits. what we can expect by these rulers who are dominated specially by high caste people, bureacrate and others like AMBANIS, BIRLA, TATA etc last but not least there own politicians who are multimillionairs. so my dear central government employees if u people have any shame left in you never allow such political party to rule us in future and this is my prediction too that these is the last time that NDA government came into power.
