Chances of implementation of 7th Pay Commission report in FY 2016-17 – Budget 2015 documents indicates

“7th Pay Commission impact may have to be absorbed in 2016-17″ – Says Medium Term Fiscal Policy papers presented by Finance Minister
Budget 2015 documents such as Para 12 and 42 of Medium Term Fiscal Policy for further 3 years, and Para 23 of Fiscal Road Map indicate the Chances of implementation of 7th Pay Commission in the Financial Year 2016-17.
7th CPC was formed in February 2014 with the time of 18 months for submission of its report. We could also see that 7CPC is already in full swing in examining the pay structure and service conditions of various cadres of Central Government Employees, Railway Employees and Defence Services personnel.
It has conducted as many as 38 meetings with organisations that represent employees, servicemen and pensioners at many places in India. Oral evidences of leading federations such as Confederation of Central Government Employees, AIRF, NFIR etc are also to be recorded soon as possible. As such we may expect that 7th Pay Commission may submit its report in time. Sixth Pay Commission also submitted its report within stipulated time of 18 months

Must Read:

DA of central government employees has already crossed 100%. Previous Pay Commissions have merged entire DA with pre revised pay and also provided fitment benefit up to 40%. In these lines, we may expect that 7th CPC pay would be at least 2.5 times of Pre revised pay as on 01.01.2016. As DA rate would start at Nil rate once 7th Pay Commission is implemented, net increase in pay of Central Government Employees including Railways is expected to be 40%.
Considering the recent pay hike of 15% approved for Bank Employees in the recent Bipartite Wage Settlement which is due every four years, 40% pay hike for Central Government Employees can be rightly justified since their pay revision is due evey ten years.
While Govt is yet accept the 6th CPC’s recommendations for Performance Related Increment System (PRIS), 14th Finance Commission has recently recommended for productivity based Pay Fixation. In these circumstances it is up to 7th Pay Commission to moot out performance based pay fixation for Central Government Employees.

UNI Europa opposes further Postal liberalisation through trade agreements
On 24 February 2015, UNI Europa participated in the Public Hearing of the Committee on International Trade of the European Parliament entitled: TiSA Trade in Services Agreement: what’s at stake for Europe?
Annexed you will find the Work Programme of the Public Hearing. UNI Europa’s intervention can be followed on the following web-link: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/ep-live/en/committees/video?event=20150224-0900-COMMITTEE-INTA from 11:44:40 onwards
UNI Europa reiterated its opposition to further liberalisation in Post & Logistics services through secretive trade negotiations. Annexed, you will find the verbatim intervention of UNI Europa:
“We have experienced now nearly two decades of deregulation and liberalisation in the sector. We have seen their effects. They are real. And they are uniformly negative. Postal liberalisation has had disastrous effects for workers and consumers alike in Latin America, Asia and, perhaps most starkly, in the European Union.
The TiSA negotiations and other trade agreements pose significant deregulatory threats for the majority of services sectors and come with a liberalisation tie-in logic, limiting the capacity of public authorities to re-regulate in the public interest. So-called ratchet and standstill clauses render the reversal of liberalisation levels impossible. TISA could even prescribe necessity tests for regulatory measures. Governments would have to prove the necessity of a regulatory instrument before implementing it. For example, in a discussion of universal coverage, a Government would have to prove the necessity of re-regulating already privatised services such as postal services.
UNI Europa is therefore reluctant to see the experience of EU postal liberalization exported elsewhere. It is important that debates concerning the future of the postal market, and other services (public services, services of general economic interest etc.), take place in open and transparent public forums, where all stakeholders – from rural and elderly consumers to workers and their trade unions – have an opportunity to engage policymakers in that debate. Postal liberalisation has failed to meet economic integration prerogatives and more importantly has limited services providers’ capacity to act in the public interest.”
