SCPC: Pay Packages for the Armed Forces

NDTV Correspondent
Thursday, June 26, 2008 (New Delhi)

The Defence Minister AK Antony will preside over an important meeting to finalise an enhanced pay package for the armed forces on Thursday.

Significantly, apart from the three service chiefs, the meeting will be attended by the Cabinet Secretary KM Chandrashekar, Defence Secretary Vijay Singh and Finance Secretary D Subba Rao.

This meeting comes in the backdrop of large-scale resentment in the armed forces over a meagre pay hike recommended by the Sixth Pay Commission.

Although a committee of secretaries constituted by the government to rectify the anomalies in the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations has reportedly proposed an additional 15 per cent hike for the armed forces and central para-military forces, Antony wants to explore the possibility of more pay and perks for the armed forces.
