27.11.2017. The Circular advises Administrative Departments not to receive any recommendations for implementation of revised pay structure according to the 7th Pay Commission, in the event the staff and employees of the concerned PSE's/Corporations/Autonomous Bodies and Agencies have resorted for wage dispute redressal or any other redressal before the office of the Labour Commissioner or any Court of law under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 or the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 or any other law in force. The State Government, who is Respondent No.2 in the present petition, will have to accordingly clarify whether the recommendations for implementation of revised pay structure in the case of Petitioner can be received by the Finance Department, particularly considering the fact that there is no wage dispute redressal proceedings reflecting on the basis of recommendations made by the 7th Pay Commission. The wage dispute proceedings taken by the Petitioner before the Labour Court under Section 33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act,1947 do not concern the revision of pay structure per se, but the MACP rule for upgradation in salary structure upon completion of 30 years of service. This controversy has no bearing on recommendations of revision made by the 7th Pay Commission. It is imperative that the State Government makes it stand clear by the next date. The petition is accordingly stood over to 3rd July, 2019 .”
