The seventh pay commission had recommended a 23.55% increase in pay and allowances.
24% rise in pensions and one-rank-one-pension for central employees and paramilitary personnel.
“Committee of secretaries has finalised its report on pay commission recommendations… We will soon draft a Cabinet note based on the report,” finance secretary Ashok Lavasa has been quoted by news sources.
“We will soon announce it. The increase would be a little below 20%,” a source has stated to news source but did not elaborate. The Centre has said adequate provisions have been made in the 2016-17 Budget to absorb the impact recommendations.
