Government gave information
Union Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary informed in the Rajya Sabha that the government will review the conditions of salary, allowances and pension of employees and pensioners under the 8th Pay Commission. He further said that the commission will present its recommendations as per the stipulated time limit.
Let us tell you that the Commission has been given 18 months time to submit its report. This clearly shows that the commission will submit its report to the government in the year 2027. Further action will be taken by the government only after the recommendations are received. That means, central employees may have to wait a long time for the Eighth Pay Commission.
The picture is not yet clear on the increase in expenditure due to Pay Commission.
The MPs also raised an important question related to the 8th Pay Commission that how much additional burden will it put on the government budget if its recommendations are implemented. On this, the government made it clear that at present it is not possible to make an accurate estimate of this expenditure.
According to the government, until the commission submits its report and gets approval, the actual financial impact cannot be assessed. This means that the entire plan related to the budget can be prepared only after the final report of the commission comes.
