The controversial cap of Rs
10,000 per month recommended by the 7th Central Pay Commission and
thereafter blindly accepted by the Ministry of Finance, which had caused much
heartburn amongst the military community, now stands removed.
There is however a rumour doing
the rounds that some extra conditions have been imposed and that the concession
shall only be admissible for Government run institutions. The same is not
correct. The concession is admissible for all Government recognized
institutions.
In fact, the conditions mentioned
in the fresh letter issued on 21st March 2018 are exactly the same
as were in force prior to the capping. The same conditions were mentioned in the
last letter issued in the year 2010 after the acceptance of the recommendations
of the 6th Central Pay Commission.
Thanks to all those who
assisted in getting this controversial action reversed.
