States want Center to bear financial burden

States have responded to the Six Pay Commission's (CPC) questionnaire to the states about the financial impact of any pay hike of Government employees on the states.

The questionnaire has sought to know the impact of accepting the recommendations of the Fifth CPC on the finances of the state Government. The questionnaire has also sought to know whether the state government has set up any Pay Commission for considering the salaries of its employees either in the past or currently.

Some of the States has responded to this questionnaire, and want that Center should bear the burden of any Financial burden, which may arise with the acceptance of the recommendation of the Six Pay Commission. For example, Orissa Government is of the view that any financial implications arising out of the increase in salaries and allowances of the Government employees should be borne by the Center. This view is endorsed by many states at the meeting of state finance ministers. Majority of the state gone nearly bankrupt due to the recommendations of the Fifth Pay Commission and with great difficulty, states have achieved and economic turnaround and there is fear that any increase in salaries and allowances of government employees can shatter the government's finances.

States have been asked by Six CPC to send data for the past five years on the expenditure incurred on account of salaries, allowances and pensions of state state government employees, employees of local bodies and autonomous organisations.

    Politicians of state legislature have increased their pay/perks as and when they desire. Why they did not ask before hand or afterwards to centre for bearing the burden. Politicians! please concentrate on Politics, leave us you are not required by govt servants at all.,

    Manisha,
    it is almost 2 months and nothing is updated about pay commission. you have not told whether A'bad and Jamshedpur have submitted the reports or not and what is the latest happening. Regarding state issue, it is one of the way of delaying the report.

    Salary should be increased based on performance. After every 3 year there should be aptitude/skill test, and all the interviews should be transperent i.e videography should be there. All transfers based on merit, not due to politics. As I am a government servent selected in class I post in software, before this I was in private sector. Here I found nothing to excel my peroformance. And facilities entitle for us avail by Director/Senior officials. Even I have no computer, and my laptop has been taken by Director. Whatever be news paper/magzines, all gone to Director's home. And many worst things, which I am unable to disclose. And our performance decided by Director i.e to fill up CR. Totally partial.
    And I found that contractual level recruitment in gove sector is a biggest mistake bo gov.

    In gov no work, then how can a person show his performance. I think government should not increase salary instead say that u can do two OR three according to ur skill level.
    That is the best way to measure performance. If the person is good he/she can rise to higher position.
