Sir, i am Govt employed in scale of BP – 10380 GP -2800. what will eligible pay structure as per 7th paycommission please.
I think it is reasonable good idea. But, if we have an imagination about the future variations in the Index, it will have a lesser impact. This has happened in almost all the Pay Commission recommendations of the past. The longer duration of constituting, recommending and implementation of the next Pay Commissions will have to see that the period prescribed for future recommendations requires a lesser period, say about five years.
I find the site is providing information regarding pay commission. The information if authoritative will be useful.
