Party's senior spokesman Ajay Maken told reporters that Central Government Employees are "frustrated and disappointed" with the major recommendations of the Commission. "This is unjust and humiliating for the beneficiaries."
"It is unfortunate that the employees, who were given 40 per cent hike in their respective pay by the Fifth and Sixth Pay Commissions, have now been recommended only 14.29 per cent," he said pointing out several lacunae in the Seventh Pay Commission report.
Instead of the gap being reduced it has been further increased by the 7th Pay Commission to 1:14, he claimed.
"When we go through the recommendations, it appears that is anti-low paid employees and fails to improve their financial condition. It is tilted towards higher-level officers," Maken said.
He especially took objection to discontiuance of 52 allowances at present available and abolition of all non-interest bearing advances viz festival etc as also Motor Car, Motor Cycle/Scooter/Moped advances.
