7th Pay Commission: Central Govt Employees’ minimum pay hike next month?

The demand of the Central government employees for a 3.68 times fitment factor hike or an increase in the minimum pay to Rs 26,000 is yet to be met by the Modi government. However, the CG employees are likely to get some good news next month.

The government is not avoiding any issue or demand of the employees. Several things are taken into account, from inflation to its overall impact on the economy of the country, before taking such a decision that will empty crores from the government exchequer, said an official.
