They can think about reducing the age of retirement by two years or more and creating job oppurtunity for younger generation which is more techno savvy .

Dear Sir,
May I know where are the Defence forces covered in the terms of reference.
Is it that a separate pay commission is going to be constituted under the same chairman?

There is a ban on new recruitment in central universities for non teaching posts. the retired employees are taken as consultants with same work &less pay which i feel is unfair. many times less skilled persons are taken on temporary basis, in the place of skilled professionals. This will affect the services like Medical services. Instead the central Govt employees can be extended to 62for better patient care.
