The government has clarified that there is no proposal under consideration for the constitution of the 8th Pay Commission. This was stated by Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.
Chaudhary said that the 7th Pay Commission's recommendations were implemented with effect from January 1, 2016. The recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission have been implemented in full and there is no proposal under consideration to constitute the 8th Pay Commission.
The 7th Pay Commission had recommended a 23.5% increase in the basic pay of central government employees. The commission had also recommended a number of other changes, including an increase in the allowances and pension benefits.
The government has said that it will continue to review the pay and allowances of central government employees and take appropriate steps in the future.
Here are some of the reasons why the government may not be setting up the 8th Pay Commission:
- The 7th Pay Commission's recommendations have been implemented in full.
- The government is facing financial constraints.
- The government may be waiting to see how the economy performs in the coming years before making a decision on the 8th Pay Commission.
It is possible that the government may set up the 8th Pay Commission in the future, but there is no clear timeline for this at this time.
