When the country is in the midst of electing a new
government, the executive is busy drafting its wish list for the Seventh
Pay Commission.
As per a recent resolution, the
Central Indian Administrative Service Officers’ Association has decided
to present a comprehensive and united representation of its demands
before the Seventh Pay Commission, the setting up of which was announced
by the government last month.
The association has
asked the Andhra Pradesh, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh IAS officers’ units
to work on proposals for pay revision. Andhra Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir
and Rajasthan Associations have been allocated the job of drafting
various aspects of essentials for IAS officers including security,
transportation or car facility or allowance, camp office and attendant
allowances.
Dearness, travel and other allowances
like entertainment and perks will be looked into by the Himachal
Pradesh, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu associations while issues of loans
for children’s education, housing, vehicles and gadgets have been
entrusted to the Gujarat, Rajasthan and Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram
and Union Territory (AGMUT) cadre.
Health insurance
and risk coverage and health facilities will be dealt with by the IAS
officers of Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, AGMUT
and Haryana.
Government residential quarters and
housing schemes for members will be studied and proposals submitted to
the commission by officers of the Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Uttar
Pradesh cadre.
