Irrespective of the fact that it may burden the exchequer, the pay revision is absolutely necessary for central government employees because there is no revision of pay for the past 10 years. The central employees only get an annual increment, and two-time DA in a year. Govt should rationalise the various subsidies given to people based on their economic criteria and strictly enforce that subsidies reach the intended poor or economically backward people. Measures like cutting down employees strength should not resorted by Central Government for smooth functioning of administration.
