regarding the allowances to the central govt. employees, it is suggested to first increase the basic of the low paid staff in P.B.1 so that the gap between P.B.1 and P.B.4 is reduced. 18000 is very less basic for the starter and 250000 is at the highest side.
a number of govt. quarters in various organisations are lying vacant due to no occupancy and high house rent allowances. thus house rent allowance should not be increased abnormally rather the same amount be adjusted in other type of allowances viz. CEA, Honorarium, increments and special Dearness Allowance.
Further recruitments to the needies should be increased with the saved amounts. there is a lot of problems of the unemplooyements
