8th Pay Commission: ₹ 18,000 basic salary will directly increase to ₹ 94,000? Railway leader revealed the biggest secret

At present, the murmur among the central employees regarding the 8th Pay Commission has become very intense in the country. Everyone is eager to know how much money will increase in their pockets after the arrival of the new pay commission. But meanwhile, a fierce debate has erupted on social media and among the employees on a new possibility. The discussion is whether the total gross salary of an ordinary employee getting a basic salary of ₹ 18,000 can increase directly to ₹ 94,000?

M Raghavaiah, General Secretary of the National Federation of Indian Railwaymen (NFIR), has openly expressed his views on this entire mathematics and possibility and has exposed its entire truth. During a special conversation, when this entire calculation was placed before him, in which it is being claimed that the basic salary of an employee with a basic salary of ₹ 18,000 can increase to approximately ₹ 69,000 and his total gross salary including allowances etc. can reach ₹ 94,000, then he was asked a direct question that is really such a huge increase practically possible?

What did M Raghavaiah explain?

Answering this very complex and important question, M. Raghavaiah explained in a very concise manner. He said that the main objective of the Pay Commission is not to increase the salary of employees only on paper. Its real objective is to accurately assess the quality of service of the employees, their hard work and their contribution to the development of the country. He pointed out that a large number of central employees working in the country are posted in places which are extremely backward and remote areas. In these places, even the basic facilities required for living are not available properly.

He further said that many of our employees are on duty round the clock in such remote areas, where there are neither good hospitals, nor good schools for the education of children, nor are there any good townships or other civic facilities to live in. Despite all these difficulties and privations, these employees render their services to the country non-stop, maintain their productivity and contribute to the continuous strengthening of India’s economy. Raghavaiah believes that the new pay commission should first evaluate this hard contribution of the employees while deciding the salary.

Example given by railway employees

Raghavaiah took help of statistics to explain the problems of the employees in more depth. According to him, about 85 percent of government employees do not work in offices but directly in the field and fulfill their responsibilities in very challenging conditions. Therefore, whenever the new Pay Commission takes any decision, it must weigh the service of the employees, the risks involved in their work and the difficult working conditions on its own scales.

He put forward a great example of the railway employees, who are called the lifeline of the country. He told that the employees who inspect the tracks in the Railways have to walk on the tracks for several kilometers in every season and inspect them. They carry heavy tools and equipment with them, so that they can identify the defects in the tracks in time and repair them immediately. While doing this work, their life is in danger every moment. Many times, these employees become victims of terrible accidents while performing their duties.

Only the Eighth Pay Commission will take the final decision

Raghavaiya, a strong leader of NFIR, clearly says that how much risk there is in the life of a government employee, what effect this difficult work is having on his health and under what difficult conditions he is serving the country for years, all these things should be studied very closely by the Pay Commission.

However, he also made it clear that how much the final salary of the employees will increase will depend entirely on the recommendations of the Eighth Pay Commission and the final decision taken by the Central Government thereafter. But despite this, the outstanding contribution of the employees and the high risk of their work should not be ignored at any cost.
