Seventh Pay Commission Panel On Allowance To Meet Soon
New Delhi: The committee appointed to look into the allowances recommended by the 7th Pay Commission is scheduled to hold its first meeting this week while the payment of arrears will commence from this month, Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa has said.
"The decision to defer the decision pertaining to allowances and refer it to a committee was taken basically because there are 196 or so allowances, and the recommendations amount to major changes in the allowances," Mr Lavasa said.
"So, the government decided that the committee of various officers should carefully examine and then give their decision. There are many ministries involved. Various categories of employees, various types of allowances," the finance secretary said.
"The Pay Commission had recommended that so many allowances should be abolished and that so many should be subsumed. The committee will have its first meeting this week. It will look into these considerations. The government has given four months," Mr Lavasa told IANS in an interview.
"As regards the distribution of arrears, it will happen in August."
After the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission were largely accepted by the Union Cabinet in June, it was decided to constitute a panel headed by the finance secretary to specifically look at the suggestions on allowances.
The commission had examined a total of 196 existing allowances and, by way of rationalisation, it had recommended 51 allowances be abolished and 37 others be subsumed. Due to its wide impact, a panel was formed to take a holistic view on the changes proposed.
"The committee will complete its work in a time-bound manner and submit its reports within four months. Till a final decision is taken, all existing allowances will continue to be paid at the existing rates," a Cabinet note had said.
Asked about the impact of Pay Commission recommendations on the budget and, more specifically, the fiscal deficit, the finance secretary said this was an exercise that will start soon.
"The Pay Commission report had been submitted before the budget. The budget did provide for some additionality," Mr Lavasa said.
"As we go along at RE (revised estimate) stage, we will have to see what is the kind of impact it will have on the fiscal deficit keeping in view the revenue generation which is taking place. It is too early to say. We will review at that time."
It was estimated by the Pay Commission that the additional financial impact on the exchequer due to the implementation of all its recommendations in 2016-17 will be Rs 1,02,100 crore. This apart, it had estimated an additional implication of Rs 12,133 crore on account of arrears.

EXPECTED D.A. FROM JULY 2016 - DEARNESS ALLOWANCE CALCULATION
There are three main factors which determine the increase in percentage of DA in every pay Commission.
1.DA CALCULATION FORMULA
2.AICPIN FOR INDUSTRIAL WORKERS
3. BASE AVERAGE INDEX
1. FORMULA FOR DA CALCULATION
2.AICPIN FOR INDUSTRIAL WORKERS
3. BASE AVERAGE INDEX
2. AICPIN for Industrial Workers
THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX FOR INDUSTRIAL WORKERS (CPI-IW) IS AN IMPORTANT STATISTICAL/ECONOMIC INDICATOR. IT WAS FIRST INTRODUCED ON SCIENTIFIC LINES WITH BASE 1960=100 WHICH WAS BASED ON THE RESULTS OF FAMILY LIVING SURVEY CONDUCTED IN 1958-59 AT 50 INDUSTRIALLY IMPORTANT CENTRES. THE SERIES WAS THEN, UPDATED ON BASE 1982=100 AND A REVISION IN 1999-2000 HAS FURTHER UPDATED THE BASE ON 2001=100. THE CURRENT SERIES OF CPI-IW WITH BASE YEAR 2001=100 COVERS 78 INDUSTRIALLY IMPORTANT CENTERS SPREAD ACROSS THE COUNTRY
3. Base Average Index
AFTER NEUTRALIZATION OF DA TO REVISE THE PAY AND ALLOWANCE IN EVERY PAY COMMISSION, THE BASE AVERAGE INDEX WILL BE MODIFIED TAKING INTO THE ACCOUNT OF 12 MONTHS AICPIN POINTS OF PREVIOUS YEAR TO NEUTRALIZATION OF DA.
FOR 7TH PAY COMMISSION WHAT WILL BE THE BASE INDEX…?
AS THE 7TH PAY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED WITH EFFECT FROM 1.1.2016, THE AICPIN AVERAGE OF 2005 WILL BE THE BASE INDEX FOR CALCULATION OF DA FOR 7TH PAY COMMISSION
SO FORMULA FOR CALCULATION OF DA IN 7TH PAY COMMISSION IS
= [(263+264+266+269+270+269+269+267+268+271+275+277)/12]-(261.4) X 100/261.4 = 2.91 %
SO FORMULA FOR CALCULATION OF DA IN 7TH PAY COMMISSION IS
