There are a few modifications that have been suggested in some allownaces applicable to all central government employees and other allowances which are applicable to specific employee categories.
A massive protest has been organised on May 23 by the Confederation of central government employees against the delay in implementing the allowance hike as per the revised 7th Pay Commission recommendations. The Confederation along with the National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) has demanded that the government implements their demands at the earliest. The protest is expected to a major one and will be held on May 23. The unions have been raising some core issues.

Grant Civil Servant status Regularise all casual and part-time, contingent and contract workers apart from granting them equal pay for equal work Revise pension and grant dearness relief to autonomous body pensioners Remove the stringent conditions imposed for grant of MACP Assurance on dearness allowances It may be recalled that the government had assured that the demand for the arrears on higher allowances as per the 7th Pay Commission would be met soon. The assurance was given by the Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha after a meeting with the National Joint Council of Action or NJCA the consolidated body of employee unions. The NJCA which has been leading the negotiations relating to the 7th Pay Commission met with Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha and reiterated the demand of arrears on higher allowances from January 2016 onwards. The body also demanded the implementation of the report by the Committee on Allowances under the 7th Pay Commission. The report was submitted to the finance ministry. It is still under examination. The Cabinet Secretary during the meeting assured that the same would be implemented soon. The concerns would be considered and it may take some time. The report is currently ebing examined by the Empowered Committee of Secretaries headed by P K Siinha. Some modifications needed There are a few modifications that have been suggested in some allownaces applicable to all central government employees and other allowances which are applicable to specific employee categories.
