| Antony meets pay panel over ''paltry'' hike for armed forces | | | New Delhi | Apr 4
Defence Minister A K Antony today met the members of the sixth pay commission to convey the grievances of the armed forces over the ''paltry'' hike in the panel report and sought ''some modifications'' in the recommendations.
Sources said the Defence Minister explained in detail to the panel members the demands of the armed forces, seeking removal of anomalies in the pay commission recommendations.
The armed forces have been demanding military service pay (MSP) be fixed at 25 per cent of the basic pay for soldiers, personnel below officer rank and middle rung officers.
Creation of more running pay bands, weightage for length of service and no erosion of service when compared to central services, including the Indian Administrative Services (IAS), were the other demands that came up for discussion. |
