New Delhi: About four lakh officers of central public sector enterprises will benefit from a government decision giving them a further increase in salary and allowances, over and above the hikes announced last year.

The decision to improve the salary structure of officers at board level and below, along with supervisory staff, was taken at the Cabinet meeting presided over by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The improved pay packages will also include increase in house rent allowance and retirement benefits.

The decisions are based on the recommendations of the committee of ministers headed by Home Minister P Chidambaram, which went into the revised salary and allowances notified earlier in November last year by the government.

PSU officers, particularly in the oil sector, forced the government to revisit their revised pay scales when they went on strike in January this year.

Briefing reporters after the Cabinet meeting, Chidambaram said the revision in the pay structure would vary from company to company.

This is utter non sense that the DPE has not given Fitment benefit for the executives and non unionised supervisors who have joined after 1st Jan 2007.This is not at all justified.It will take around 6 years to catch up the salary of those,Who have have joine on or before 31.12.2006.New Joinees should not accept this Step motherly treatment.And the revision should cater to all section of employees.

it is totaly wrong decision of pay revision committee that they have not given fitment benifit for those executives and non unionized supervisors .while the private comanies are offering out of scope to woo new entrants to their organization.in my view the pay revision committee should comprise young blood so that they can feel the needs of the young mass.otherwise in job advertisement PSUs should not specify SALARY IS DUE REVISION.

For your kind information, this is not "further" pay hike. Justice Rao committee's recommendations were drastically diluted by a handful of bureacrats in the name of Committee of Secretaries at the behest of this useless govt. What this so called group of ministers have recommended is not even at par with the Justice Rao committee recommendations. Therefore, this is not another or further pay hike as the media and the newspapers have hiped on the instructions of the govt.

Pay hike! Not at all satisfied. We are all employee minded not emloyer. We the employees should enjoy 95% of the net proffit every month .We the employees,are left blank regarding the net proffit of our company.Though I am working for my employer after hard reading,the employer is enough to enjoy 5% of my hard earnred money. My pay and allowances should be flotting from month to month, depending on the net proffit of my working. Employer is fooling the emploees by giving a lump sum amount without disclosing the net proffit of the company. We are the tax payers,hard workers,well qualified. We must enjoy more than the employers. Who are the employers ? How much are they enjoying in a month ? it is confusing in India,

It is no surprise as MMTC and STC are donating to Congress Party only. Also there could be donations from certain organizations affeliated to Congress Party. Good vote bank politics and more serous crime, slow poison to the democrfacy's death. Even the US and Europe where economies are down, they are cutting expenses; where are we heading? Even though it could be due, declaring it now definitely amounts to vote bank politics.
