No 8th Pay Commission: According to sources, the government is considering adopting a new mechanism by removing the pay panel system. This decision of the government will affect all central employees and pensioners.
No 8th Pay Commission: Is the announcement of the 8th Pay Commission going to be a big blow to the expectations of central government employees and pensioners? This question is because according to the latest update, the central government is considering completely abolishing the pay panel system and implementing a new system. Just a few days before the new budget, this important information has been received by Financial Express Online from reliable sources.
Earlier, the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission were implemented by the central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in January 2016. The 10-year term of this panel will be completed on 31 December 2025. Before the 7th Pay Commission, the tenure of the 4th, 5th, and 6th Pay Commissions was also 10 years. Because of this, employees and their unions have been demanding the formation of the 8th Pay Commission for a long time. However, the government has clarified that the tenure of the Pay Commission is not fixed, while it is believed that it is fixed. In this situation, when the government is considering a new method, it may increase uncertainty and anxiety in the minds of government employees.
The government is considering adopting a different method to revise the salaries and pensions of its employees and pensioners instead of forming a new pay commission. A source who was involved in the recent meetings between the government and employees’ representatives gave this information. Earlier reports have also suggested that the Center may consider implementing a new system in place of pay commissions. Pay commissions usually give recommendations to revise the salaries and pensions of government employees at an interval of about 10 years.
What is the government’s stand on 8th Pay Commission
In Parliament, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary clarified that the government does not currently have any proposal under consideration for the formation of the 8th Central Pay Commission, so the question of time limit does not arise.
What will the central government employees do next?
After the government’s refusal to consider setting up a new pay commission, last month the All India State Government Employees Federation had announced that if their demands are not met, they will launch a big movement in 2025.
The central employees’ organization NCJCM has also made the demand
After the Finance Ministry said last month that there is no proposal under consideration for the formation of the 8th Pay Commission, the National Council Joint Consultative Machinery (NCJCM) wrote a letter to the Union Cabinet Secretary demanding the “immediate” establishment of a new pay commission. Let us tell you that it is an organization that raises the interests of central government employees and their demands. In a letter dated December 3, this organization had said that 9 years have passed since the implementation of the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission. Through the letter, the organization also demanded the implementation of the new pay commission and pension revision from January 1, 2026.
