This is really a cap-on salute to Govt of India who atleast thinks to reward the armed personnel with additional bucks while implementing the sixth pay report. The gain as compared to escalated price is very meagre and this gain should be hiked more by considering their devoted duties to save the nation from internal and external threats.Please be polite and sympathetic in enhancing the salary of armed forces even higher than the civil officeals.Dr H P Shrivastava, Head PGET, CARI, Izatnagar-243122 (UP)
I wonder if the Armed Forces personnel will rejoice the approval of the report. As such they are being systematically and steadily degraded by the babus. Our service chiefs have no guts to say "No". Another matter is that they will wait to become governors after their retirement. In the end, it is the juniors who will face the ridicules & music hurled at them by the IAS and even IPS officers.
OH WHAT A BONANZA IF IT IS ANNOUNCED WITH DATES FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN ONE STROKE? IF THE HISTORY IS ANY INDICATION IT MAY JUST BE AN ORNAMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT TILL THE LAST IMPORTANT IMPLEMENTATION DATE. TV KUMAR
Most of the government servants are not at all working. go to any public sector bank. then compare their service with the private sector bank. then you will understand. most of the government employees will invest in the stock market (any arrears they get inthe pay revistion) and watch stock market from their chair in their office eating tax payers money.

Please compare salaries of public sector banks with private sector bank. Then, you will understand. May I know your occupation, sir? I am sure you have not met with any incidence of hidden charges, quantum of minimum balance charges by private banks. In case, you require services like private sector banks, avail their priority banking services, where you have to maintain not only a good amount of minimum balance plus handsome charges for availing banking services. Better, understand the basic difference, then compare. Of course, it is just a matter of criticism in India.

And Mr. Nagarajan, what do you think the private sector employees are doing in their offices. They are doing the same things and to make things worse they have easy access to internet, which most of the government servants don't. I know many guys who work for private companies (large ones, of course!)trading in stock markets for 2 - 3 hrs a day. So, please don't try to generalize things. There are many government employees, who are doing their best at work, in spite of being paid peanuts, while many people in the pvt. sector with brains in the size of peanut, being paid many lacs per annum.
And, by the way have you been visiting the PSU banks in the last two years. Their service have improved by leaps and bounds, while that of pvt. players have deteriorated considerably.

I have worked in some of the remotest locations of central India and let me tell you that other than SBI/BSNL and Postal department ( exception of a couple of local couriers) there is no private sector involvement at all. Think of this fact also.. It is only these Govt agenices that are available in these remote locations. NO pvt sector Cos will enter into these loss making areas.

agreed. pvt sector tries to cater to the creamy areas and extract from them and ignores undeveloped areas. pvt sector wants govt to make infrastructure and then want to eat ready food.

Have cool you may recall the enactments of various law to see the things reaches to common public & people are heard. This was when our country has moved to public sector formation . It was the private run banking which denied access to common public .Now, again full circle the private banks charging hefty charges without informing the account holder and do not know who is on helm of affairs .The government is in long slumber better wake up and correct the things. Increase in salary is justified and should have done long back before notifying the private banking entry in the sector.

thats y mixed economy is the most appropriate system where both pvt and public sector operates side by side and compete with each other.
earlier telephone service provided in metro viz. mtnl services worst as it was monopoly. ppl were fed up of govt sector. after entry of pvt sector in mobile and landline telephony, due to competition, they improved their service and providing it at cheaper rates unlike pvt operators who although APPEARS to b good service providers, r rather looting general public. so co-existence of both sector is important for consumer welfare.

Govt. Money printing machines will work over-time and the currency will land up in the hands of these lazy fellows and trigger another rise in all commodities. State Govt. will also follow the suit to shut the mouth of its employees. Only left out people will have to run with fire in their bellies. It is all fate of other citizens.

may not agree. but they hv definitely improved after competition from pvt sector. thats the main advantage of mixed economy.
though the govt.is going for this, but it is my humble request to all the central govt.employee to work hard and do not let down the govy.who has shown faith on u people. i am also a retired naval personnel who has spent the 15 years of life in Indian Navy with the money which was hand to mouth and most surprisngly faced 2 pay commission..I wish that this pay commission may give a solid financial background to all the employees of armed forces..JAI HIND
Inflation is the money supply in the market.There are two reasons by inflation is zooming 1)pay hike for government officials 2)Tax exemption limit increased. both will increase more money in hands of ppl. With more money they will buy more food,petrol Prices will zoom up furthur

Pyare Mohan, why you don't add Rs60000 crore loans written off in agriculture.That money is also going to play important part in price rise
while the efficiency of the govt. employees is definitely lower than the pvt sector this move is a positive one. There are people who believe that nothing will change in this country - these guys should then take their pessimistic a*s*s out of thecountry. My business needs frequent visits to the excise dept and over a period of last 10 years their efficiency has doubled - the recruitment has been put off for last 7-8 years or so. Give them better package and DEMAND MORE. Dont forget that the defence and police forces are also govt. employees - these guys deserve a much better hike - how will u attract good men to these services - air force and army is losing the officers to pvt. sector - TRAINING A PILOT IS VERY COSTLY AFFAIR, HOLDING ON TO THEM MAKE MORE SENSE. The cabinet must also announce what they expect from the employees in return.

Good Observation.
The efficiency of private sector banks and Non Banking Finance companies to squeeze out last drop of funds from milloins of investors in just one year has been very exemplary.
The public sector banks have not been able to achieve this in 6 decades.

Private banking & insurance eating hard earned money of public in the name various interwoven false services . It is public loot and all enjoying because there is none to listen in this mad world where two wrongs justify one wrongs. Better wake up instead comparing public with private sector both needs to shoulder equal responsbility. Never think that you are only running the world ,it is two to clap.
A well rewarded employ will work harder to keep his reward. It is high time govt. reacted to the realities of this world. However, people of this country should get a little better service from the side of the employees who is getting a raise of 45% or there about. Important thing is that the employees too need to realise that it is the tax payer who is giving their salary and one should not be asking for bribes from their employers .i.e. the people of this country.
RE:Pay hike
by RAVINDRA JOSHI on Aug 13, 2008 11:18 PM
Mr.Tom Dick, don't forget that so called 45 % rise they are getting is after long period of ten years within which time price rise is more than 100%.
Our government saw how the private sector performed well after hiking wages to employees and is doing the same in the public sector. I am quite sure that our public sector employees would perform better after this pay hike.
RE:Yep its all about competition.............
by Ganesh R on Aug 13, 2008 08:36 PM
IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. Whatever you do, govt employees will still whine that they didn't get 50%...or 46% atleast
