    7th pay commission report has totally disappointed the Pensioners.
    Avoiding 50% DA merger will be of no use and wasting time by setting pay commission.
    hardly 8000-9000 hike is being considered out of which 20% amount will go to income tax as tax limit has not been revised.

    I’m of the opinion that instead of setting pay commission and marginal benefit recommended, govt could have straightaway given a hike of 20-40% on the basis of 6th CPC.

    The 7th CPC has misleaded central Govt employees and pensioners.

    Respected Sir,

    Namasthe ! Hope and wish you are doing well.
    Earlier also I have sent you e-mail regarding
    non-granting of increment to the officials who are retiring
    on 30th June on attaining superannuation on plea that
    the official is not on duty on 1st July. Though the officials
    render their service for entire 365 days in that year are being
    retiring without increment is highly injustice.

    You are kind to reply me that this issue is under active examination.
    Hope this issue will be brought to the notice of 7th CPC by you sir.

    Please provide me e-mail address of 7th CPS so that we also
    try to bring this to their notice.

    But taking up this issue by you have high impact.
    Please take pains and do the needful sir.

    Thanking you,

    Yours sincerely
    A SRINIVASA RAO
