I fully support appointment of new pay Commission, as the present pay allows the average govt. servant to pay for his monthly rent and ration for only 15 days. This is so b'cos of the high cost of essential commodities. The DA increase is meagre to offset the price rise. An average Call Centre employee, who is in the age group of 23-27 yrs. earns about 10K+. Whereas, a Govt. servant with more than 15yrs. service has a take home pay of Rs.10K. It is not that the Call centre employee is more educated. It is a fact that there is excess staff doing less work. But it is only in the supervisory cadre. A lot of people would have opted for VRS, if the Govt. had the lowered the criteria of 20 yrs. service to 10 yrs.
