Apart from DA and HRA, the all allowances such as CA, HCA-CCA, etc. should be increased by multiplying factor of band pay.
Medical allowance should be fixed. Family planning allowance should be maintained modern family structure such as (parents + 2 children) not given benefits to thouse who have two or more children and thereafter shows family planning proof (green card).
Children education allowances should be those who have only 2 children not more. It is shown that those employees whose have more children they is getting benefits.
2. I agree there is a huge difference between Grade pay of Rs 7600 in pay band -3 and next pay band in PB-4.The PB-3 Rs 7600 should be merged in PB-4 in the proposal of 7th pay commission.The responsibility for both grades are same at present.
