The structure of government hierarchies often presents challenges in terms of career advancement and data management. The lack of promotional avenues, complex procedures, and centralized data can hinder both horizontal and vertical mobility within the system. This rigidity may lead to a stagnation where employees are ‘typecast’ into specific roles with little opportunity for movement or growth. Such systems may prioritize uniformity over efficiency, potentially overlooking the contributions of diligent officials. Addressing these issues could involve reforming promotion policies to reinvigorate the appeal of career progression and ensuring equitable opportunities across different scales. Implementing these changes could help in recognizing and rewarding the efforts of hardworking individuals within the government framework.

In the discussion with the 7th pay commission all the associations demanded for scrapping the grade pay. Reason most of the association leaders where in the grade pay of 1900, 2000, 2400 and 2800 because they have not reached any post in the grade of gazetted. They where in the feeling that they are getting increase of 100 to 400 in promotions while the gazetted officers are getting 1000 or more in promotions. But they forgot the fact that in every promotion fixation and MACP fixation we were getting 3% plus difference in grade pay. Since it is discontinued in 7th CPC we are getting only 3% increase in pay fixation on promotion/MACP. The greatest loss occurred to the employees who are getting promotion from the post of UDC to Assistants. UDC have a grade pay of 2400 and Assistants have grade pay of 4200, the difference was 1800. So on promotion they were getting 3% plus 1800 benefit in basic pay in 6th CPC. Then the basic pay of UDCs around 13000 and 3% of that was only 390 but they were getting a benefit of 390+1800=2190 in basic pay. in 7th CPC the basic pay is around 40000 and they are getting a benefit of 1200 only now. Compare the benefit of 2190 in 6th CPC and 1200 in 7th CPC. The greatest foolery demand from the associations was stopping the grade pay. If it is continued with some more rationalization the benefit on promotion would have been doubled. More basic pay means more pension, gratuity, commutation, leave encashment, NPS contribution etc.

Dear Yogesh

This government will not consider the people request. They are for the rich people and their development. Middle and poor people have to die in this regime.

Dont ask for pay commission till 2026. 7th CPC started in 2014 and implemented in 2016. If it implemented in 2018 we could have got better fitment formula as per DA in 2018 and the present basic pay might have been increased by 20% . Earlier pay commissions implemented two year after the due date and the maximum benefit given to the employees.
