2. Also the inflation rate in the 6th Pay Commission is very high.”
The terms and references of the
7th Central Pay Commission was approved by the cabinet on
28.02.2014. In the terms and references document, in paragraph (h), it has been
said that if needed an interim report can be recommended.
“h) To recommend the date of effect of
its recommendations on all the above.
The Commission will make its recommendations within 18 months of the date of its constitution. It may consider, if necessary, sending interim reports on any of the matters as and when the recommendations are finalised.″
The Commission will make its recommendations within 18 months of the date of its constitution. It may consider, if necessary, sending interim reports on any of the matters as and when the recommendations are finalised.″
After the 7th Central Pay
Commission was set up, it obtained terms and references from various
stakeholders using the 1st phase of interactions. Now, through the 2nd phase of
interactions, inputs are received through meetings held in various important
cities of India.
The
expectation of many Central government employees now is: “is there a
possibility of the 7th Central Pay Commission interim report being released?”
In the 5th Pay Commission, considering the inflation rates, when the DA reached
50%, it was merged with the basic salary.
However,
in the 6th Pay Commission, nothing about the 50% DA merger has been mentioned.
Moreover, comparing the DA increase due to inflation in the 5th Pay Commission,
the DA that was given during the 6th Pay Commission taking into account the
inflation rate is much higher. I have attached a table below to explain this.

Presently, we consider the interim report as essential due to the important reasons given below:
1. The
50% DA merger that was allowed in the 5th Pay Commission is not
made available now for Central Government employees
2. Also the inflation rate in the 6th Pay Commission is very high.
2. Also the inflation rate in the 6th Pay Commission is very high.
Due to
these factors all the Central Government employees naturally expect
if they could get any interim relief through an interim report of the 7th
Central Pay Commission.
