The salary of lakhs of central government employees can increase once again. Recently, the dearness allowance for central employees has increased by 50 percent. With DA being 50 percent, other allowances of the employees have also increased. Now it is the turn of formation of the new pay commission, which is already awaited and now the demand has started gaining momentum.

Recommendation for formation of 8th Pay Commission

According to an ET report, Shiv Gopal Mishra, Secretary of the National Council of Joint Consultative Machinery for Central Government Employees, has written a letter in this regard to the Cabinet Secretary of the Government of India. The letter recommends the formation of the Eighth Pay Commission as soon as possible, so that the basic pay, allowances, pension and other benefits of central government employees can be revised.

A new commission comes every 10 years

While advocating the formation of the Eighth Pay Commission, Mishra has argued that more than 10 years have passed since the formation of the last Pay Commission. Generally, the next Pay Commission is formed every 10 years. There is also usually a gap of 10 years between the implementation of the recommendations of the new Pay Commission in place of the old Pay Commission. In such a situation, the formation of the Eighth Pay Commission has become necessary.

When was the last commission formed?

The 7th Pay Commission was constituted on 28 February 2014 during the tenure of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The 7th Pay Commission submitted its recommendations to the Central Government in November 2015, about one and a half years later. After that, the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission came into effect from 1 January 2016, which are still in force.

7th pay commission has completed 10 years

If we look at it this way, 10 years have passed since the formation of the previous Pay Commission in February this year. As per the gap of 10 years, the government has time till January 2026 to implement the recommendations of the new Pay Commission i.e. the 8th Pay Commission. This means that the government should constitute a new Finance Commission as soon as possible, so that its recommendations can come on time and keeping in mind the time limit of 10 years, the recommendations can be implemented from January 2026.

What is the work of Pay Commission?

The Pay Commission is formed to determine the salary of central government employees and pension of former employees. The Pay Commission prepares recommendations after considering inflation, earnings and many other factors. The Pay Commission also prepares the formula for determining Dearness Allowance (DA) for employees and Dearness Relief (DR) for pensioners and other allowances.
