28% salary jump for top babu, 17% for entry level
NEW DELHI: The Seventh Pay Commission’s recommendations will result in the basic salaries of Secretaries seeing the steepest jump of over 28% while the rise at the bottom is expected to be around 17% from the current level. While the entry-level government functionary usually gets the lowest hike, the gap between someone in the lowest pay band with the cabinet secretary, the top band, has widened a little.
Factoring in the 119% dearness allowance that is currently paid, a government employee at the lowest scale earns around Rs 15,300 a month (without factoring in other allowances), which is now projected to rise to Rs 18,000. In contrast, the cabinet secretary, who earns Rs 1.97 lakh would be eligible to get Rs 2.5 lakh if the government accepts the recommendations.
Once the change takes place, the entry-level employee would be getting a little over 7% of the cabinet secretary’s basic salary, compared to under 8% now.
Even an entry-level Group A employee, who is an under secretary would get less than a quarter of what the cabinet secretary -the country’s top bureaucrat earns.
