      महाशय
      आप को सूचित करते अ दुःख हो रहा है की यह कोन सा वेतन आयोग है जो हमे जहाँ Transport allowance 3600/=रुपये मिलता था उसके जगह पर सिर्फ 1404/=रुपये मिलेंगे यह कहा का न्याय हैं। महोदय क्या यह न्याय सही है। इसका क्या संशोधन किया जायेगा ।

  • Aryee bhai ye bahut jhuta party hai. Fir 10 saal intjar Karo.

  • Ye kysa pay commision hain jahan pichle pay commision (6th CPC) se kom milta hain Transportation allowance me humme pahele Rs 3600 mil raha tha ab humme 1350 + DA milega. Hammara aparadh yehi hain ki hum level 2 me hain. 7th CPC me agar kuch employee ke liye HRA fixed kar sakta hain to Transportation allowance ke liye kyon nahi fixed karte en employe ko jo pahele se 3600 mill raha hain. hamara to tankha kamne bala hain..
