Performance-related incentive scheme could not be implemented by the UPA government which had given its “in principle” approval.

“Seventh Pay Commission is likely to outline the salient features of performance-based increment aimed at improving governance in its recommendation to the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley ,” an official of the Seventh Pay Commission said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“Performance-based increment will be payable taking into account the performance of the central employees during the year under consideration,” he added
The central government has accepted in principle the recommendation of the sixth pay commission for introduction of a performance-related incentive scheme in the form of pecuniary benefit over and above the regular salary, for its employees, Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh told Lok Sabha on July 22 in a written reply.
Accordingly, Seventh Pay Commission may recommend 5 to 6% performance-based annual increment for central government employees, which is likely to be implemented by the central government.
There are about 50 lakh central government employees. Performance-based increment may prove to be a big game changer for improving governance and delivering maximum output.
