  1. S.P. HARAN.
    The pay Commission took 18 months to complete its examination of the whole gambit of central civilian as well as defence staff’s pay and pension demands and submitted its report without delay. But , the committee of officers set up to deliberate on the mere question of allowances has already taken half that time as on date with no information as to when its report will see the light of the day. The Government seems to be happy on the delay as it suits purpose The service unions may lack teeth to bite but should they not at least roar? .

  2. This government it seems is not not very keen in solving this issue of Allownces they are more interested in other matter.

  3. The deliberate delay is causing a big frustration among employees. These union are doing nothing. Simply participating in meeting and there role over. It seems they also do not want to implement early. We have already lost 8 months or HRA. They are not able to pressurised the government. Government does not to implement because that money will be used to consolidate the fiscal deficit. Nobody is there to take care the actual demand of central government employees.
