Armed forces again demand resolution of pay ‘anomalies’ with 7th Pay Commission
NEW DELHI: The armed forces want at least five "core anomalies" in their salary structures to be resolved to establish the "correct baseline" for recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC), whose term has now been extended till December 31 by the government.
While the heat and dust over one rank, one pension (OROP) is yet to settle, with a section of veterans rejecting the "diluted" version announced by the government on September 5, the serving personnel have their own deep-seated grouse over their eroding "status, parity and equivalence" as compared to their civilian counterparts.
The armed forces top brass have made several representations to the government, including the defence and finance ministries, on the core anomalies over the last one year. But have received no assurance till now. With the 7th CPC's term being extended by four months, they are now making a last-ditch attempt to get the anomalies rectified.
