7TH PAY COMMISSION LIKELY TO HIKE SALARIES BY 40%: REPORT FROM CREDIT SUISSE

The 7th Pay Commission is likely to raise the salaries of government employees by up to 40 per cent, said Neelkanth Mishra, India equity strategist of Credit Suisse. The Pay Commission will submit its recommendations in October and it will be implemented by next year.

"As the Pay Commission numbers come through there could be a 30-40 per cent increase for each individual. It won't be as big as last time because it was driven by a lot of arrears but definitely a large number of government employees will come into the pay bracket which can afford to have, for example, four-wheelers," he said in an interview with NDTV. (Watch the full interview)

Credit Suisse says about one-third of India's middle class is employed by the government and as the 7th Pay Commission comes through, there will be an improvement in discretionary spending.

"In Tier 3, Tier 4 towns where government employees are 50-60 per cent of the middle class, it is very likely that real estate markets will take off again," Mr Mishra said.

Once the Pay Commission submits its recommendations in October, it will take 3-6 months for the Centre and the states to announce its implementation, Credit Suisse said.

Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh have already indicated that they are going to implement the 7th Pay Commission recommendations from January 1, 2016, he said.

As clarity emerges on the 7th Pay Commission, consumption will see an uptick and that could act as a stimulus to the economy, the brokerage said.

However, Mr Mishra struck a note of caution. "Clearly if you see a third or 35 per cent of your middle class getting a 40 per cent or 30 per cent jump in compensation in one shot, the fears of inflation will rise." Expectations of rate cuts can get pushed out and some possible fiscal pressures can emerge, he warned.

MAJOR MISTAKES OBSERVED AT DELIVERY POST OFFICES IN HANDLING PARCEL COD ARTICLES.

COD Articles Are Taken Receipt As Registered Parcel/VP Parcel At The Time Of Bag Opening:

Check all the Parcels physically and take receipt of all COD parcels as COD only in Bag Opening option of Postman module.
Even though RMS (Parcel Hub) invoices the article as RP/VPP in the Parcel list, the delivery Post Office is supposed to take receipt of the article as COD only and raise error entry
If the article is taken receipt as Registered Parcel/VP Parcel by mistake, don’t invoice the article as Registered Parcel/VP Parcel. There is an option to the Supervisor of the Postman module to change the Non COD article into a COD Parcel. Use this option, before invoicing the article to Postman/BO and change the article type to COD Parcel.

Not Requesting For Electronic Data If The Article Is Physically Received At An Office Other Than The Pin Code To Which It Is Booked

By default, electronic data will be transmitted to the office to which the article is booked.
If the article is received at an office other than the office to which it is booked, that office has to give request for electronic data.
Electronic data will be sent within 3 hours
If electronic data is not received within 3 hours, check the tracking of the article.
If the article is already marked as RTS by some other office, the article has to be returned to sender by manual process

Non Usage Of Sub Accounts Module:

Sub Accounts module should be in operation in all the HOs/SOs.
The data of the articles delivered at Branch Post Offices will be transmitted to e Payment Server only if the amount of BO delivered articles and the amount entered under proper head in BO Daily account (sub accounts module) is tallied.
Therefore, the BO Daily account has to be entered in Sub Accounts module properly.

Non Performing BO Verification:

BO Verification is compulsory in order to transmit the data of COD Parcels delivered at Branch Post offices.
For this purpose, the returns in Postman module has to be taken on the same day of BO Daily Account.

Mismatch Between The Names In Sub Accounts Module And Postman Module

There should not be any mismatch between the BO names appearing in Postman module and Sub Accounts module. If any mismatch is there, then the articles delivered by such B.O.s will not be transmitted to ePayment Server.
Therefore, modify such BO names in Sub Accounts module to exactly match with that available in Postman module.
