All these guyes who say Govt employes do not work should justify the following:- 1. Why has India not yet been Invaded again? 2. How do trains run, mostly on time to take you to work and for buissness? 3. How come we still have water supply and electricity? 4. How come there are roads? 5. How come we have nuclear weapons and sataillites? 6. How come our money in nationalised banks safe?
It is easy to blame an entire community just because you paid bribe to somebody. But there are a lots and lots of honest Govt Servants who toil at very less pay and provide service. All of our scintiest in ISRo can easely get a job in NASA. Our railways is the biggest network in the world, out Armed Services are envied by the world. Only our own people do not appreciate what they have.
I was a poorly paid officer in the Armed forces and I know what it is to live in a meger pay, in the middle of nowhere, and gathering pennies throughout the life to some how make a house, at a place you can some how afford, even if you do not like the place, or just gazing at shoes you like but not being able to afford it.
I am an Electronics Engineer by profession, and in view of the cost of living, the Pay Rise is very much justified and overdue.

Dont ask these things as if these are favors done by you people. This and more is expected from "public servants". Except for armed services, none of the other departments do good job. Did you read about train accident last week in tamil nadu? Is there a single day when water and electricty are cut for almost every district in the country? Where are the roads.There are only pot holes. Are you telling that if you dont get 40% hike, you are going to rob nationalized banks also. The country has been safe only because of the strong justice system and armed forces of the country.

You are right - But the hike should be PERFORMACE based - to encourage better work culture and reward well performing emoloyees.
Remember - It is TAX PAYERS money - not Pay commisions money.

Paying Rs 100 in rewards is pleasing - but paying Rs 1 as bribe to wrong govt emp.hands is painful.
Due respect to you - I amjust talking abt PERFORMANCE Based Hikes to every GOOD Govt employee - Not to bad, low performing & corrupt employees.

Subodh,
I emphathize with you. All respect for the armed forces...
However my ire is mainly against the babus who create a corrupt system filled with rep tapism.
Yes we have roads, water and electricity. But these are basic needs. If we want to be a developed nation we need to think beyond mere availability and look for quality!
What is the quality of our roads for example compared to the developed nations? Can't we have world class infrastructure throughout India given our economic growth?
But we don't.
The reason sadly is the corrupt system and inefficiency of the govt employees!
