“The main area that needs immediate
attention of Mr Finance Minister is that
impending burden of the VII pay Commission I had seen world bank report a few years ago comparing
emoluments of government servants with
per captia income which was highest among countries. The earnings of government employees were
about one two times the per captia
incomes in most countries. This would have increased in India to about six to seven times after the
implementation of the Sixth pay
commission. Now the VIIth Pay Commission
is in the process of recommending yet another increase in their salaries. The economy of the country today is of the Govt Servant, for the Govt
Servant and for the Govt Sevants. Mr
Finance Minister must change it. The terms
of reference of the seventh commission m
must be restricted to improvement of
efficiency and reduction in numbers. There
should be no recommendation regarding increase in salaries.” Extracted from the
article of Dr Jhunjhunwala in Orissa Post 30th June 2014
