THE ANOMALY OF 6TH PAY COMMISSION IS THAT THERE ARE MANY EMPLOYEES RETIRED ON JUNE 30TH WITHOUT RECIEVING THE ACRUED INCREMENT TILL 30TH JUNE AFTER WORKING FOR 365 DAYS.THE HARD EARNED ACRUED INCREMENT ALONG WITH RELEVANT DA LEAVES WERE EITHER REFUSED OR WITH HELD WITHOUT ASSIGNING ANY REASON TO WITHHOLD.THIS ANOMALY IS UNDERSTANDABLE EVEN BY A LAYMAN.BUT THE VERY VERY EDUCATED AND WELL LEARNED BEUROCRATS REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND.I HOPE THE TRADE UNIONS WILL EXPLAIN THEM

The 7th pay commission has retained annual increment of the employees@ 3%. As per the calculation shown in the matrix the amount of annual increment so arrived is rounded off to the nearest Rs. 100/- eg Rs 1801/- to 1832/- has been rounded to Rs 1800/- and from Rs 1850/- to 1899/- is rounded to Rs 1900/- but there is no such mention in the report or govt order which stipulate this rounding to the nearest Rs 100/-. Govt may issue directions in this regard immediately to avoid confusion.
