7th Pay Commission Latest News: At a time when a number of central government employees are waiting for a hike in minimum pay and fitment factor beyond the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission or 7th CPC, several doctors in Delhi took to the streets in protest demanding salary hike beyond the recommendation of the 7th Central Pay Commission.
Recently, a similar protest was launched by Gramin Dak Sevaks following which the postal services in rural areas across the country remained affected for several days. The country-wide strike started on May 22 against the non-implementation of the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations.
Meanwhile, the strike by doctors over non-implementation of 7th Pay Commission has hit patient care in the national capital enormously. The striking doctors have reportedly not received the salaries since two months due to non-implementation of the seventh pay commission. Reportedly, the salaries of these doctors was supposed to be upgraded as per the 7th CPC after approval by the government.
Notably, the doctors have been receiving salaries based on 6th Pay Commission even after government’s approval to 7th Pay Commission or 7th CPC recommendations, long time back. The striking doctors have threatened indefinite strike if no confirmation is given in next 15 days on their pay hike on the basis of the 7th Pay Commission.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that PM Narendra Modi in all likelihood will announce the hike in minimum pay and fitment factor beyond the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission on August 15.
Earlier in March, Minister of State in Finance, P Radhakrishnan informed Rajya Sabha that it was not considering hiking minimum pay and fitment factor beyond the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission. The announcement dashed the hope of 48 lakh employees who have been demanding higher minimum pay.
