New Delhi/Bhubaneswar: Central government employees have been expecting a further hike in the minimum pay next month after several news related to a possible increase in pay were published in the media.
However, it seems the expectations have been crushed again as reports are there that the Centre is not going to increase the minimum pay of the employees anytime soon.
According to Financial Express, as per an official reply from the Central government dated March 6, Minister of State for Finance P. Radhakrishnan said that the government is not considering any hike in minimum pay for the employees beyond the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC).
Replying to a question put forward by Neeraj Shekhar at Rajya Sabha regarding the increase in minimum pay and fitment factor, Radhakrishnan said that no change is being considered by the Modi government at the moment.
