The Committee is to examine and make recommendations as to whether any changes in the recommendations of the 7th CPC relating to allowances are warranted and if so, in what form. The Committee has received a large number of demands on allowances and even now receives demands in this regards. All the demands have been diligently examined. The Committee has already held 13 meetings so far and interacted with the representatives of Central Nodal Ministries, National Council (Staff Side), Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM) and officers and representatives of employee associations of Ministry of Health and Family welfare, Home Affairs, Railways, Defence and Department of Posts. The Committee has taken more time than was initially prescribed in view of the large number of demands received. The Committee is now in the process of finalizing its Report. Decisions on implementing the Report will be taken after the Report is submitted by the Committee.

    After reading the reply given by the minister, it appeared as if he is justifying the lackadaisical approach of his babus and their inability to deliver an important matter after being given adequate amount of time. After all, there is no limit to excuses and justification. The entire nation is watching the so called efficiency of the babus.

  2. It is very surprising that the Govt is intensionally wants to creat the delay
    to implement the report on allowances of 7th CPC and disability pension of defence pensioners.

  3. In my opinion, minister did not reply to the questions asked. He avoided the question and summerised the subject. Question were: Did committee ask for any extension and extension given?, How much time Govt. Will take to implement after receiving report? Answer to no.1 is No and No. No.2 answer : No reply. Questioning and answering is just a corum nothing else.
