I am a proud employee of Indian Government & I say that the salary hike is totally justified! To all the morons critisizing the government, pl note that its impossible for a common man to survive without govt. intervention even for 1 day. All your basic needs are fulfilled by govt. only. Electricity, roads, bridges, water, railways, defence, airport, delhi metro.... the list is endless.
Knowing this, you fools keep on critisizing Government! As for the bribe part, you tell me who bribes the government? Its the private companies! They will pay lakhs of Rupees to get a tender! Why cant they obtain tender on their capability?
As for the tax part, government employees are the most honest in depositing income tax! The tax is deducted at source (TDS), unlike private idiot employees who at times do not pay marginal tax out of their high salaries!
Hence salary hike is totally justified for govt. employees!

Hello you dirty idiot Be ashamed of saying yourself to be a govt employee and commenting that only private companies pay bribes. even if they want to do work w/o bribe you ask for it shamelessly.
Every individual from birth to death 'has' to pay bribe to govt officials like you.

It is shame on govt employees to feel proud of what work they are doing even after 61 years of independence, let them look at govt employees of other countries like China, Australia, Malysia, Singapore, etc., how efficient they are in providing facilities for public through govt services. My friend is talking about roads, bridges, etc., where are they ? only 10 to 15% of our country men use them, go to towns and villages hardly there are roads. I think it is better to privatize all infrastructure developments to make people of India happier. Why only govt officers are corrupt ? why common man do not bribe in banks, bill collection centers, bcoz they are privitaized or have fear of competetion. It is good news govt employees are getting hike but that should be linked to their performance..no free meals..

Mr Akash.. i do not intend to criticize the government employees. But i would like to cite a few points: 1. What is the level of service that comes with the basic needs provided by the goverment. In certain countries when there is a power failure it makes headlines because it is not something that is regular. If we start reporting our powercuts in the headlines, we would not have room for any other news. 2. How many instances can be cited when a government employee has been fired because of poor performance. Try underperforming in a private firm... Hoping for a better performance from the public sector...

Mr. Shayne and Mr. Ravindra
Please explain me one thing. It is the responsibility of only the Govt. Employees to work for the development of India. What are we people, who work in Big MNCs do? We feel proud in working for international firms. But are we adding anything towards the betterment of our nation? It's very easy to criticize but really hard to work. How many of us pay full tax? This tax is used for the development of India, for buying arms for the security. How many of us keep the roads clean???? You were talking about the countries like Singapore/Australia. Do you know even a small thing like spitting on the road is a crime. You have to pay heavy fines for the same. Just imagine what will happen if the same policies are exercised in India also. All of you will be fined everyday I am not saying that Govt. officials are right. But they can't be kept soley responsible for the slow development of India. The blame is on everyone.

We all know it is all our responsibilitiy to participate in development of India, however most of the development portfolios are under govt departments, common man cannot do much, if you wish to repair a piece of road, just try and see how many govt employees come behind you to ask for bribe to allow you to do good work for the country. Can you find a single employee working in a MNC defualting on TDS ? no way..now every MNC employee pays huge tax. You said people pay fine in Singapore/Australia for spitting, yes there you can find out some one had spit and action to be taken, here can you make out who did what, even if they are caught we have our govt employees ready standing to take bribe and leave them. Now time has come to all govt employees to understand their responsibilities and work hard/smartly to discharge their duties and question there superiors and make govt department effecient and make our country progress. Or just accept MNCs and priviatization.
