The 8th central pay commission started a four-day visit to New Delhi on August 7, meeting associations, federations and unions of central government and UT employees registered in the capital. The panel posted notices on its website earlier this month detailing a series of state visits and stakeholder meetings across August and September: Chennai, Puducherry, Chandigarh, Jaipur and Mumbai are on the itinerary.
The commission did not release an agenda ahead of the Delhi meetings. Based on memorandums submitted by prominent unions and discussions in previous rounds, expected themes include a revision of the fitment factor, a pension formula overhaul, hiking the minimum and maximum pay, allowances for defence and railway staff, and a separate pay structure for central government doctors.
