7th Pay Commission: Govt employees to get revised salary from tomorrow, but will there be no 8th Pay?
While the central government employees are still dissatisfied with the revised allowances, this salary revision will be for the last time as the government is planning to not form any pay commission post this.
After waiting for over an year, the central government employees will get their revised salary under 7th Pay Commission starting from tomorrow.
48 lakh employees will see their higher allowance from July as Government asked central ministries and department to ensure the revised rates of allowances under 7th Pay Commission are paid immediately.
On July 7, Government of India issued a notification regarding 7th Pay Commission by publishing it in the Gazette of India.
While the central government employees are still dissatisfied with the revised allowances, this salary revision will be for the last time as the government is planning to not form any pay commission post this. Which means, there are chances of no 8th Pay Commisison.
Modi-government is also likely to take policy decision on the same, as reported by The Sen Times which quoted a Ministery of Finance official.
The reason could be the additional burden, the implementation of 7th Pay Commission will put on country's finances. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, last year had mentioned "The Pay Commission has put a burden of Rs 1.03 lakh crore in respect of pay and allowances."
