Pay hike: Now, cops want parity with the IAS


The report of the Sixth Pay Commission has created problems for many government wings, especially the Indian Police Service (IPS).

The IPS wing is extremely unhappy with the report of the commission for not giving them parity with the IAS personnel as far as the pay structure is concerned.

And in order to find a solution to their grievances, the IPS association met in Delhi on Thursday to discuss the recommendations of the Pay Commission.

Angry police officers have decided to take on the government. The salary hike in the pay commission is unacceptable, they say.

''We are extremely unhappy with the report. There is a huge amount of discontent within the police force, especially in the middle rung of DIG and Additional DIGs and the constabulary. We hope the government takes note of it,'' says says Manjari Jaruhar, General Secretary, IPS Association.

During the meeting, the Association discussed the main issues and put forward their demands which are as follows:

  • They want a Group a Ministers (GoM) to look into the Pay Commission's recommendations.
  • They want pay parity with other arms of the bureaucracy, especially the IAS.
  • They want the government to recognise the role of the police in national security.
