Benefits Under 7th Pay Commission
One thing that is very sharply pinpointed in the 7th pay commission for upper division Clarks is the increment and promotion every year. The most important point of demarcation is that needs clarification most of this category employees. It is quite unclear about how employee is going to be scrutinized for further levels and how the segregation will work out. As per the terms and conditions of the grade pay, it is very clear about one point that the pension scheme has been changed to the minimum scheme rather than the way employees are fixing the breakup of salary towards pension.
As the minimum criteria has been fixed for upper division clerks about how much they have to contribute towards pension, there is no point for employee to go minimum beyond a point. It is both beneficial and non beneficial as there are some employee who are in necessity to contribute against their will to the minimum level. Terms are not clear about the grades that are coming under this category at some point; the grade pay for both lower division Clarks and upper division Clarks seems to be the same.
