The 8th Pay Commission will start its next round of discussions in Bengaluru on October 7 and 8. So far, the commission has visited 14 venues across the country where it held meetings with hundreds of employee and pensioner associations. The commission has completed around 11 months of its 18-month deadline for submitting its report of recommendations.
Central government employees and pensioners have been eagerly waiting for the commission to submit the report and the government to notify it. Given the progress of the 8th Pay Commission’s work, employee and pensioner association officials have different opinions on when the commission can submit its report and the government can notify it.
