Seventh Pay Commission for state Government employees

While answering to a question in Parliament on 12th August 2014 regarding the employees working in State Government, Ministry of State for Finance Smt.Nirmala Sitharaman said that the State Government employees are not covered within the terms of reference of the 7th central Pay Commission.

Service conditions for employees working in  state government fall within the exclusive domain of respective State Government. Therefore, State Government employees are not  directly covered within the terms of reference of the 7th CPC. Thus, the recommendations of Seventh pay Commission will not directly apply as it is to State Government employees. It is  also not possible for the Central Government to indicate the financial burden on State Governments.Its in the purview of state government to decide to adopt the recommendation of the 7th Central Pay Commission with or without modification in respect of their employees.

The Central Government had sought the views of the State Governments in view of 7thcpc and till the date of the constitution of the 7th Central Pay Commission on 28.2.2014, only 14 States had responded. These State Governments generally mentioned, inter-alia, that adoption of the recommendations of a Central Pay Commission by them in case of State Government employees adds to substantial financial burden

She also added, Since the decision to adopt the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission in case of the State Government employees will exclusively concern respective State Government, the question of any assistance by the Central Government will not arise. However, the Terms of Reference of the 7th Central Pay Commission provide, inter-alia, that while making its recommendations, the Commission will also keep in view the likely impact of the recommendations on the finances of the State Governments, which usually adopt the recommendations with some modifications.
