The Union Cabinet today gave its

benefits of personnel belonging to the Defence Forces, having regard to historical and
traditional parities, with due emphasis on aspects unique to these personnel.
c) To
work out the framework for an emoluments structure linked with the need to attract the most suitable talent to
Government service, promote efficiency, accountability and responsibility in
the work culture, and foster excellence in the public governance system to
respond to complex challenges of modern administration and rapid political,
social, economic and technological changes, with due regard to expectations of
stakeholders, and to recommend appropriate training and capacity building through a
competency based framework.

things, its bearing upon performance and productivity and make
recommendations on the general principles, financial parameters and conditions
for an appropriate incentive scheme to reward excellence in productivity,
performance and integrity.

review the variety of existing allowances presently available
to employees in addition to pay and suggest their rationalization and
