The Union Cabinet, finally, made a statement regarding the matter thus making a full-stop to the desired wages coming from the public. In fact, recently the Dearness Allowance (DA) was increased by 2% to which the employees and pensioners showed disapproval as they demanded a minimum hike of 3 to 4% rather than merely having 2%. Perhaps, the recommendation of the abolition of 51 allowances as well as 37 others out of 196 allowances from the employees was completely against Centre’s will.

As stated the Union Cabinet, the Winter Session in the parliament will begin from 16th of November where prime concerns like GST Bill, 7th pay commission recommendations on several states will be discussed but as of now, the Centre has denied any kind of appointment of high-level committee for payment hikes. The increased and announced salaries is nevertheless 23.5% more than the previous cut-off and that of almost 1 crore employees. The hike is 2.57 times more tha the previous package recommended in the 6th Pay Commission.

Apart from increasing minimum salaries of the civilians it also recommended a minimum hike of salary of Army Personnels along with the para-military forces.
