8th Pay Commission : The impatience regarding the 8th Pay Commission is increasing among government employees and pensioners. However, the government has not yet officially announced it.
But according to reports, there may be some big changes this time. It is possible that some allowances may be removed or some allowances may be merged.
What happened last time?
If we look at the 7th Pay Commission, the government had abolished more than 200 small allowances. In their place, some important allowances coming under the big category were added. Its purpose was to make the pay system easy and transparent, so that the number of allowances given to the employees can be reduced and confusion does not arise.
Which allowances can be affected this time?
The same path can be adopted in the 8th Pay Commission as well. If the news is to be believed, this time travel allowance, special duty allowance, regional allowance given on a small scale and some local allowances can be cut. However, no official confirmation has been made by the government in this regard yet.
Will the employees suffer loss or benefit?
Experts believe that if some allowances are removed, it can have a direct impact on the pockets of the employees. But the government will try to ensure that the employees do not suffer any loss. In such a situation, it is expected that this can be compensated by increasing the basic salary or other facilities. Apart from this, improvements in dearness allowance (DA), pension and other benefits can also be included in the recommendations of the commission.
What next?
Right now everyone’s eyes are fixed on the Terms of Reference (ToR) to be issued by the government. Only after the ToR is released will it be clear what will be the scope of the commission and what kind of changes will be made in the salaries, allowances and pension of the employees.
