What are the sample questions in questionnaire-
Implementation of the recommendations of a Pay Commission has macro economics impacts. Some of these are positive in terms of boost to consumption and savings whilst others are negative in terms of the higher fiscal deficit, inflationary potential & crowding out of other expenditure such as for overall development and public welfare. Decisions in this regard involve choices. Based on the current state of the economy and the country’s aspirations, what should be the guiding philosophy which must underpin the overall approach of the 8 CPC?
Q. Salaries in government have a distinct element of compensation for length of service (increment, usually annual), an element of neutralisation for changes in the cost of living/inflation (dearness allowance) and an element for higher responsibilities based on seniority/merit (pay scale on promotion). In that context, what do you think the ‘fitment factor’ adopted by Pay Commissions should represent?
Q. How should rates and frequency of increments in respect of different scales of pay be determined? Should these be uniform or vary across scales?
