Pay commission

A pay commission is a group of honorary members belonging to diverse fields. It is selected by the union cabinet to examine aspects of government employees’ compensation package, their standard of living including pay and allowances, retirement benefits, conditions of service, and promotion policies.

The central pay commissions have been set up at a break of ten to 13 years. the first pay commission was instituted in 1946, second in 1957, third in 1970, fourth in 1983, fifth in 1994, while the sixth was set up in 2006.

Before they fix the salary of the government employees the pay commission analyses the rate of inflation, rate of the nation, growth rate of per capita income, changing trends in living standard, and the employees share in the respective field of working. Generally, the pay commission first fixes the lowest levels of salary and then highest, as it become easier for them to determine other salary levels.

In the first pay commission report the difference ratio was 1:55 times, 1996-1:16

And in this newly recommended report it is 1:12(that is minimum of 6600-maximum 80000Rs.)
