Confederation News About the 8th Pay Commission
Implement 5-year wage revision for Central Government Employees. Appoint the 8th Central Pay Commission and revise the Pay, Allowances, and Pensionary benefits of Central Government employees with effect from 01-01-2021.
This National Conference is of the considered opinion that the wage revision of Central Govt. employees should be once in five years, as in the case of many public sector undertakings and certain State Governments. The last wage revision of Central Govt. employees had taken place with effect from 01-01-2016. Five years will be over by 31-12-2020. Also taking into consideration the fact that the 7th CPC Wage Revision was the worst wage revision, it is high time that the Government initiates the process for appointing the next Central Pay Commission i.e., the 8th CPC, so that the Pay, Allowances, and Pensionary benefits of Central Govt. Employees will be revised with effect from 01-01-2021.
Confederation demands to appoint the 8th Central Pay Commission and revise the Pay, Allowances, and Pensionary benefits of Central Government employees with effect from 01-01-2021. [Click to read more]
