The Centre has expanded the ambit of a panel looking into anomalies arising out of the implementation of the seventh Central Pay Commission's recommendations.
The work of the anomaly committee, which has representatives from both official and staff sides, is to act on representations received from the employees against the pay panel's recommendations.
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has modified the definition of anomaly to include "Where the official side and the staff side are of the opinion that the vertical and horizontal relativities have been disturbed as a result of the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) to give rise to anomalous situation," as per an official order.
The inclusion of term "disturbance of vertical and horizontal relativities" (referred to as gaps in pay among various group of employees/officers working at the same level) will help in expanding the approach of the anomaly committee, a senior DoPT official said.
Now the anomaly will include cases where the official side and the staff side are of the opinion that any recommendation is in contravention of the principle or the policy enunciated by the seventh CPC itself without the Commission assigning any reason.
"It will also include cases where the maximum of the level in the pay matrix corresponding to the applicable grade pay in the pay band under the pre-revised structure is less than the amount an employee is entitled to be fixed at," the order said.
The DoPT had in August last year asked all central government departments to set up committees to look into various pay-related anomalies arising out of the pay panel's recommendations.
The Centre has accepted most of the recommendations of the seventh CPC being implemented from January 1, 2016.
