7th pay panel: 3 Service chiefs to take up concerns with defence minister
New Delhi, Dec 14 (PTI) The three Service chiefs will soon meet Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar to express the forces’ concerns over “shortcomings” in the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission.
The armed forces are of the view that if the Pay Commission is implemented in its present form, it will position them much below their civilian counterparts in terms of salaries, facilities and status.
One of the main grudges that the armed forces have is with regard to the risk-hardship matrix.
The officers say that a soldier posted in Siachen Glacier, the highest battlefield in the world which poses great risk and hardship, will get an allowance of Rs 31,500 per month.
In contrast, a civilian bureaucrat from the All India Services draws 30 per cent of his salary as “hardship allowance” when posted anywhere outside the “comfort zone”.
Under the new scale, a senior IAS official posted in a city in northeast India will draw much more as “hardship allowance” when compared to the Rs 31,500 per month that military officers posted in Siachen are to receive.
A total of 869 Indian soldiers have died in Siachen since 1984 due to various factors, including the hostile conditions there.
Navy chief Admiral RK Dhowan was the first among the three service chiefs to officially comment on the Pay Commission report.”
Whatever we feel are the shortcomings are being taken up by the three services with the Ministry of Defence to see that whatever we feel is necessary for our men, our officers, our civilians, is made available to them,” Dhowan had said here on December 3. PTI SAP KKM (NitiCentral)
सातवां वेतन आयोग: तीनों सेना प्रमुख रक्षा मंत्री से जताएंगे चिंता
नई दिल्ली: तीनों सेनाओं के प्रमुख जल्द ही रक्षा मंत्री मनोहर पर्रिकर से मुलाकात करेंगे और सातवें वेतन आयोग की सिफारिशों में कुछ खामियों को लेकर सेनाओं की चिंता व्यक्त करेंगे। सशस्त्र बलों का मानना है कि अगर वेतन आयोग को इसके मौजूदा स्वरूप में लागू किया जाता है तो यह वेतन, सुविधाओं और दर्जे के मामले में उनकी स्थिति को उनके असैन्य समकक्षों से बहुत नीचे करेगा। सशस्त्र बलों की एक प्रमुख शिकायत जोखिम-कठिनाई से संबंधित है।
अधिकारियों के मुताबिक सियाचिन ग्लेशियर में तैनात किसी सैनिक को 31,500 रुपये प्रति महीने का भत्ता मिलेगा जो दुनिया में सर्वोच्च युद्धक्षेत्र है और जहां अधिक जोखिम और कठिनाइयों का सामना करना पड़ता है। दूसरी तरफ अखिल भारतीय सेवाओं के किसी असैन्य नौकरशाह को सुविधा क्षेत्र से बाहर किसी जगह पदस्थ रहने पर उसके वेतन का 30 प्रतिशत कठिनाई भत्ता के तौर पर मिलता है।
नए वेतनमान के तहत पूर्वोत्तर के किसी शहर में पदस्थ किसी वरिष्ठ आईएएस अधिकारी को सियाचिन में तैनात सैन्य अधिकारियों को मिलने वाले 31,500 रुपये प्रति महीने की तुलना में कठिनाई भत्ता काफी अधिक मिलेगा। साल 1984 से सियाचिन क्षेत्र में कुल 869 भारतीय जवान कई कारणों से मारे जा चुके हैं जिनमें वहां के प्रतिकूल हालात भी शामिल हैं। नौसेना प्रमुख एडमिरल आर के धवन ने वेतन आयोग की रिपोर्ट पर तीनों सेना प्रमुखों में से सबसे पहले आधिकारिक टिप्पणी की थी। (khabarindiatv)

The armed forces officers are bloody idiot who always taking about their pay parity. They never think about their jco and others.they are selfish and having no guts to say that they are maharaja in fauj. All PBOR are slave to the officer in defence and they do not having any right to express their pay parity to government. The officers who are representor of PBOR, they always talking about their pay parity. Then questions are raised, who will look after the PBOR.
You armed forces officers always talk about your cadre and compare your counterpart as ias and others but you people never talk and compare ORs and Jcos.You never felt guilty and your conscience never acept those jawans who is suffering than you officers.can you release the statistical data of ORs,Jcos andofficers died in siachin.
