7th pay commission latest news: The government has put an end to the discussions about the arrival of the 8th pay commission for central employees. Now the salary increase will start on a new scale. But, why is there so much tension about pay commission. Get the full story here…
7th Vs 8th Pay Commission: Government job i.e. befikri ki job… we are not saying this… but most of the people have similar perception about government jobs. But now the government seems to be preparing to change this thinking of the people. Those central employees will get attention, who care about their job and responsibilities. That is, salary and promotion on the basis of performance. Don’t be surprised… this thing may turn into reality in the coming days. Because the government has made it clear about the Eighth Pay Commission that no such proposal is under consideration with the government. However, the government also said that the dearness allowances received by the central employees on time will continue to be available as before. At present, if the government implements the rule of performance linked increment, then it will have a direct impact on more than 48 lakh central employees.
Till now total 7 pay commission has come
Talking about pay commission, till now a total of 7 pay commissions have come. The first pay commission was formed in January 1946 and the seventh pay commission was constituted on 28 February 2014, which got approval in 2016. Actually, the Pay Commission is constituted every 10 years. The 8th Pay Commission is proposed to come in 2026. But its preparations start in advance. For the time being, the government seems to be gearing up for performance linked increments. Because, after the increase in DA up to a certain limit, the government is preparing a blueprint for automatic revision in salary. So that good employees can be encouraged on the basis of metrics from time to time.
Initiatives to rectify the shortcomings of Pay Commission
There have been some technical flaws regarding pay commission which the government wants to rectify. In such a situation, according to reports, the government is also considering the formula suggested by former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. In which it has been said to increase the salary of the employees on the basis of their performance. This has been named the Acroid formula. Its purpose is that a respectable increase can be made in the salary of small post workers. Because, in the system of salary structure in the current pay commission, employees with high salaries get more benefits than those with low salaries.

Hardworking and honest employees will get encouragement from this. Dusty files will be disposed of fast. Ineffective employees can be identified.
