New Delhi: 8th Pay Commission: There is important news for central employees. Right now their salary is fixed under the 7th Pay Commission, but now it is being discussed in the 8th Pay Commission.

Appeal for establishment of 8th Pay Commission
According to media reports, recently the Railway Senior Citizen Welfare Society appealed to Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to set up the 8th Pay Commission from January 1, 2024. According to the society, next year dearness allowance and dearness relief are expected to cross 50 per cent.
‘Minimum wage was wrongly proposed’
The society told the government that the 7th Pay Commission had presented its report in February 2017. Its execution orders were issued in July and August 2017 with the provision that the arrears of revised salary would be paid from January 1, 2016. The society said that the minimum wage in the 7th Pay Commission was ‘wrongly proposed’.
‘Need for change in salary and allowances’
According to media reports, the society says that salary revision should happen in future when dearness relief and dearness allowance are 50 percent or more of the basic salary. There is a need to change the salary structure to neutralize the effect of inflation. From January 2024, DA is expected to be more than 50 per cent. In such a situation, there is a need for change in salary and allowances from January 2024.
The society said that pay commissions take years to present and implement reports, in such a situation, the establishment of the 8th pay commission should be done as soon as possible.
What is the side of the government
According to media reports, last year the Union Minister of State for Finance had said that no proposal is under consideration regarding the formation of the Eighth Pay Commission. Perhaps there will be no need to set up another pay commission. Let us tell you that at present, dearness allowance is being given at the rate of 42 percent to the central employees and there is a possibility of an increase of 4 percent in their DA in July.
