We need not jump into the conclusion that multiplication factor will not be increased – Confederation
7th CENTRAL PAY COMMISSION
REPLY OF THE FINANCE MINISTER IN RAJYA SABHA
Dear Comrades,
We are reproducing below the reply given by the Hon’ble Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley in the Rajya Sabha on 19-07-2016 —
The Finance Minister has made it clear that “the government is responsive to the concerns of the Employees’ Associations and it would be the endeavor of the Government to ensure that the eventuality of a strike does not arise.”
Regarding increasing of the multiplication factor, the Finance Minister replied that:
“no such proposal is under consideration of the Government, at present’
The assurance given to the NJCA leaders by the Group of Ministers (including Finance Minister) on 30-06-2016 is that enhancement in minimum pay and fitment factor (multiplication factor) will be considered favourably by the Government, once the proposal in this regard is submitted to Government by the proposed “High Level Committee” within four months. Hence, the matter will come for the “consideration” of the Govt. only after submission of the report by the High Level Committee.
In that sense, technically, the reply of the Finance Minister that “at present” there is no such proposal under consideration of the Government, may not be taken in a different manner and we need not jump into the conclusion that multiplication factor will not be increased.
However, giving due importance to the concerns expressed by many of our comrades and grass-root level leaders, the NJCA will discuss this issue shortly and take appropriate decision. NJCA is keenly observing the move of the Govt. and any going back from the assurances given by the Group of Ministers or any betrayal of 33 lakhs Central Govt. Employees and 40 lakhs pensioners by the NDA Govt., shall result in revival of the deferred strike by the NJCA and Government will be solely responsible for all consequences.

The higher levels are unduly paid high,thereby making high on expenditure.Instead of uniform 2.57.
I t can be(min) @ 4×7000=28000pm &1.5×90000=135000 .pm(max).This will be Socialistic approach to fitment factor .Afterall what the needs of high rank PUBLIC servant should not more than 5 times of Low rank PUBLIC servant.After all in these days of technological exuberance ,no special skills required for Ias,Ips etc.Mechines take prudent decisions farmate quickly.No extraordinary skill required to be paid of 250000pm,waste of public money only 135000 is more than enough,because this is government job.250000is required for private enterprise heads.It is quite evident that even to fix 7cpc recommend,these people took so long. If PRIVATE Entrusted with this job .This would have been done in 7,8 months only.Load at higher level & small at base makes the structure tumble& fall.?????
