8th pay commission latest: Only time will tell when the recommendations of the Eighth Pay Commission will be implemented, but before that, various types of discussions are going on among the central employees. A large section of central employees believe that most of the suggestions given by organizations or stakeholders to the Pay Commission will be implemented. There is also a demand of the organizations that after its implementation, the salary of central employees will be revised every 5 years.
What is the matter?
Actually, employee organizations want that now they do not have to wait for 10 years for revision of salary and pension. Instead, salary and pension should be reviewed every five years. Employees’ organizations say that inflation is continuously increasing, hence depending on the old pay scale for a decade affects the purchasing power of the employees. Therefore, there is a need to reduce the period of revision of salary and pension.
What is the demand of which organization?
Recently, Bharat Pensioners Society (BPS) in its memorandum submitted to the 8th Pay Commission had demanded to revise the salary and pension every five years. Similarly, the staff side of the National Council-Joint Consultative Machinery (NC-JCM) had also stressed the need for wage revision from time to time.
Railway Senior Citizens Welfare Society (RSCWS) has also raised this issue. Not only this, the Federation of National Postal Organizations (FNPO) has suggested creating a permanent pay review body in place of the existing system of constituting a pay commission every 10 years. However, a detailed assessment of what additional financial burden the government exchequer will incur due to the implementation of wage revision in five years has not yet been given in these memorandums.
Demand has arisen earlier also
Let us tell you that the demand for salary revision every five years is not new. Earlier, employee organizations had also raised this issue before the 7th Pay Commission. Bharatiya Immunity Mazdoor Sangh had also advocated reducing the period of wage revision. At present, the demand for salary and pension revision every five years is only a proposal of employee organizations. The 8th Pay Commission has not taken any final decision on this. After the recommendations of the commission are received, the central government will consider them. Only after this can a final decision be taken in this regard. Let us tell you that the Pay Commission was formed in November last year.
