Comrades! Finally the central government announced constitution of 8th CPC , just before the Bihar Assembly election.
Before Delhi Assembly election in the month of January declared 8th CPC and assured to give effect from 1-1-2026.
After 9 months , again before the Bihar Assembly election another announcement with name of the chairman and members of 8th CPC, with giving 18 months time.
If the 8th CPC submits its recommendation after 18 months , certainly Central Government may take its own time to accept the recommendation .
It may be dragged to the next Lok Sabha Election.
Regarding details of Terms of Reference, though the official order is not yet released, as per PIB reports, five points as Terms of References high lighted.
All the five points are very negative directions ( warning) to the Pay Commission.
With such types of terms of reference, nothing positive can be expected. Pay commission can not work freely.
Particularly pensioners will be affected badly.
Our apprehension became true.
Pay commission directed to examine ( TOR serial III) unfunded cost of non contributory pension scheme , that means our to examine our OLD pension scheme.
We may wait for the declaration of official details of Term of References for 8th CPC.
Also to watch the reaction from JCM - Staff side.
NCCPA/ FCPA have to consider the matter seriously and to decide future course of action.
