VII CPC : Short Description about Sixth Pay Commission Before discuss about the VII pay commission let us see about sixth pay commission… SIXTH PAY COMMISSION Initially the then government refused to set up sixth pay commission to review the pay and allowances of central government employees. The then finance minister told that there was no need to constitute next pay commission since 50 % dearness allowance was already merged with the basic pay. The employees had threatened to go on a nationwide strike if the government failed to set up 6th pay commission. In July 2006, the Cabinet approved setting up of the sixth pay commission. This commission has been set up under the Chairmanship of Justice B.N.Srikrishna with a timeframe of 18 months to submit the report. The cost of hikes in salaries is anticipated to be about Rs. 20,000 crore for a total of 3.5 million government employees. The commission submitted the Report to the Government on March, 24, 2008.

7th Pay Commission : Fourth CPC pay scale and Fifth Pay commission It will be very use full to know all the pay commissions recommendations before getting into VII pay commission FOURTH PAY COMMISSION The Fourth Pay Commission was constituted in June 1983 and its Chairman was Shri. P N Singhal. But the report of 4th CPC was submitted to government in three phases within the period of four years.
