Sixth Pay Commission CPO CPMF: Central Police Organisations Paramilitary Forces Second-in-Command

First it was the three armed forces, who raised there concerns about the implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations. It then went onto the UGC teaching staff. And now, the matter has propogated to the central police organisations (CPO) and paramilitary forces (CPMF) to raise their voice seeking demand or "parity" in pay scales comparable to their military counterparts. Wikipedia on Sixth Pay Commission.

The protest by the armed forces have promised some fruits as the the government had set up a 3-member ministerial committee led by External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee to consider the armed forces' plea. Hence, looking at the developments, the officers of CPOs and paramilitary forces also have taken their turn to seek a political intervention to resolve issues concerning the pay scales of paramilitary forces & central police organisations.

It is decided that the heads or cheifs of ITBP, BSF, CRPF and SSB will meet Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta to submit a memorandum seeking a political decision on the lines of Mukherjee committee for inclusion of their "second-in-command" rank officers in Pay Band-4, if the tri-services Lieutenant Colonels and equivalents are included in this pay bracket.

The Pay Band-4 for Lt Cols is among the four "core issues" raised by the Army, Navy and Air Force in the 6th Central Pay Commission (CPC) and that led to Services refusing to implement the CPC, a decision taken by the Cabinet in August this year.

"The Director Generals (DGs) of all the CPOs and CPMFs will present a memorandum to the Home Secretary this week. We will urge Home Minister Shivraj Patil to request his cabinet colleague, Pranab Mukherjee, to include 'Second-in-Command' ranks also in Pay Band-4," Home Ministry sources said.
