NCM member questions 7th pay panel’s wages; writes to Jaitley

New Delhi, Jul 14 (UNI) Noting wide discrepancies in the minimum and maximum wages of the Seventh Pay Commission, Praveen Davar, Member of the National Commission for Minorities has suggested increasing the minimum wage to Rs 22,000 and reducing the maximum to Rs 2.25 lakh.
In a letter to Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Mr Davar said, "Prices of essential commodities are equal for everyone. But the lower paid are affected more than those drawing high salaries".
"It is my personal opinion that the minimum pay in the 7th Pay Commission of Rs 18,000 is not adequate. However, the maximum pay of Rs 2.5 lakh is a little too much. The ratio of the highest and lowest paid should be, ideally, 10:1,” he wrote to the Finance Minister.
