| NMC demands implementation of Lavasa Committee recommendations | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 20: President of the National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) Subash Shastri today demanded the implementation of Ashok Lavasa Committee recommendations by the Central Govt. in the interim budget 2019 to be tabled in Lok Sabha on 1-2-2019 by the Union Finance Minister. Addressing a well-attended NMC workers meet here , Shastri urged Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to fulfill his promise to
the salaried class and rationalize the pay structure adding that the issue has been pending since more than one year and government should immediately address this demand of this important middle class segment which had earlier been instrumental in voting NDA government to power in 2014 Lok Sabha election. He said that the recommendations were to enhance salary of lower class employees and pensioners from Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 21,000.
Shastri further demanded that income tax slabs be raised to five lack income base and that the DA component of salaries should be exempted completely from income tax, as the same always reflects an increase in consumer price index. Shastri brought home the point that DA installment which is due 1, January 2019 should be paid at the rate of 4% of basic pay/pension due to huge inflation of necessary commodities. "Before the model code of conduct of upcoming elections of Lok Sabah which is likely to be announced in the second week of March by the election commission of India comes into effect, there is an opportunity for NDA Government at the centre to fully demonstrate their sympathy and appreciation for the middle class which is being trumpeted day to day out," he added. |
