Report of the 9th Pay Revision Commission - 2010. Kerala

Abstract

One of the salient features of this Pay Commission with Chairman as Justice R Rajendra Babu terms of reference is the inclusion of the need for bringing down the wide disparity, if any, existing between different scales in Government Service, for consideration by the Commission. Commission considers it as an earnest attempt from the part of the Government to achieve the constitutional goal enshrined in Article 38(2) of the Constitution, in minimizing the inequality in income and to eliminate the inequality in status, facilities and opportunities. Likewise, the Commission has been asked to consider the need for gender-sensitive service structure. It appears to be a gesture from the part of the Government to give due regards to the women employees in the State Service. Probably these aspects have been included in the terms of reference for consideration by the Pay Revision Commission for the first time.
