Central government in India allowed the setting up of the 7th CPC. Nearly a crore of central government employees are extremely excited about the announcement that will help review of their salary and pension related issues. Constitution of 7th pay commission is likely to allow implementation its recommendations on scheduled date i.e. January 1, 2016.
Former Supreme Court Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur has been appointed as chairman of the Commission, with oil secretary Vivek Rae as full time Member. Rathin Roy (Director, NIPFP) will be part-time Member and Meena Agarwal (OSD, Department of Expenditure) its secretary.
The government constitutes Pay Commission almost every ten years to revise the pay scales of its employees and often these are adopted by states after some modification.
The sixth Pay Commission was implemented with effect from January 1,2006, the fifth from January 1, 1996 and fourth from January 1, 1986.
Pay Commission looks into service conditions, pay and perks given to employees. History of the pay revision of central government employees in India suggests that all the pay commissions set up earlier except 6th CPC took more than three years to submit their report. Although Sixth Pay Commission took considerably less time than other pay Commissions set up for pay revision and submitted its report within 8 months, it cannot be taken granted for future Pay Commissions since timing of report submission and nature of recommendations are influenced by political and economic considerations. National Mazdoor Confederation, AIRF & other associations of central government the employees have demanded constitution of 7th Pay Commission citing the reasons listed below.

- DA has already exceeded the 50 percent of basic pay and it cannot be merged with same due to recommendations of 6th CPC not to do so
- Since Govt. has agreed to revise pay structure of public sector employees after every five years and wages in case of some other categories of employees is revised in less than ten years, it should be done after every five years for central government employees also.
- Pay revision of central government employees at earliest will help reducing increasing disparities between central government employees, public sector employees, bankers and private sector employees
- Employees of central government should get a share of benefits of increasing economic growth of the country
Other expectations from 7th Pay Commission are related to do away the continuing anomalies of 6th CPC, bonus and New Pension related problems. All the sections of employees will get an opportunity to represent pay related problems to new pay commission and expect redressal of their grievances.
