CHANDIGARH: The Haryana cabinet will take up on October 25 the report of a committee, headed by chief secretary DS Dhesi, which examined the recommenda­tions of 7th central pay commission and decisions of the Centre.

The committee, set up to devise modalities for implementa­tion of recommenda­tions of the pay panel, is learnt to have recommende­d 15% hike in pay of the state employees in its report.

“The state panel has not taken any view on perks recommende­d by the 7th pay commission, as the Centre is still to take decision on perquisite­s,” sources said.

The committee, comprising Dhesi, additional chief secretarie­s Rajan Gupta and P Raghavendr­a Rao, principal secretary Anurag Rastogi and special secretary Ashima Brar, had submitted its report to the government on Thursday.

As per the government decision, the revised pay structure will be applicable to the state government employees with effect from January 1, 2016.
