3.       Chairman PARC requested each of the Pay Cells to give their opinion on the 7th CPC recommendations which were subsequently discussed.



4.      Director APCC brought out the following: -



(a)     None of the Core Anomalies projected to 7th CPC by the MoD have been resolved.



          (b)     Why should there be a separate Pay Matrix for Defence Services?

          (g)     Ration availability to Coast Guard



5.       ACAS (Fin P) & Chairman AFPCC brought out that certain allowances like Flying Pay and Tech II Allowance have been tinkered, thus disturbing the extant parities.  



6.      ADG PS brought out how certain allowances payable to Civilians in North East were much higher than the highest pegged Defence allowances like Siachin.

7.       ACOP (AC) & Chairman PARC brought out the following aspects: -



(a)     7th CPC graphically depicted Pay Progression of Service officers vis-à-vis Gp A Officers from 3rd CPC onwards, highlighting how emoluments of Service officers have steadily improved over the successive Pay Commissions by adding Rank Pay and MSP while calculating Basic Pay and at the same time denying the benefit of RP/MSP while determining Grade Pay/Level; and by not including MSP as part of Basic Pay for calculation of CTG, HRA etc. This aspect needs to be brought to the notice of hierarchy and taken up with the Govt for clarification.     



(b)     The JSM needs to be made public (at least now), in order to contain the damage made by 7th CPC recommendations.   



(c)     The recommendation made for CAPF and Civil Services need to be further analysed.



(d)     Deduction of Income Tax for allowances available for North East allowance for Civilians needs to be studied.



(e)     The tax concessions for canteen for CAPF and other Govt agencies need to be studied alongwith travel concessions and extra allowances applicable to CAPFs.



(f)      The need to publically advertise and refute some of the incorrect assertions made by 7th CPC which are damaging the credibility of Defence Services. 



8.      There being no further points, the meeting was adjourned at 1530 hrs. 



9.      This has the approval of Chairman PARC.
