In a letter issued to district collectors and heads of departments, the Finance Department has directed them to collect feedback from subordinate officers and employees regarding the proposed pay structure.

The move comes following directions from the Central government, which is preparing plans related to the next pay commission. As part of the process, all states have been asked to submit their views and suggestions.

The proposed framework is expected to examine the salary structures of government employees in comparison with compensation patterns in the private sector. Based on the feedback collected from states and departments, recommendations may be formulated regarding pay revisions.

Officials believe the consultation process will help assess the expectations and concerns of employees before finalising proposals related to salaries, allowances and pension benefits.

“The Government of India have constituted the Eighth Central Pay Commission (8th CPC) to examine the existing structure of pay, allowances, pensions and other service conditions of Central government employees and to make recommendations thereon. In this regard, the Commission has circulated a detailed Questionnaire seeking inputs/views from stakeholders, including Governments, institutions and individuals,” the Department circular read.

The Questionnaire covers various issues relating to the pay structure, allowances, pension, performance incentives and other service conditions. The same is available on the portal of the Commission (https://8cpc.gov.in) / MyGov platform for submission of responses.

The Government of India (GoI) have requested the State Governments to disseminate the said Questionnaire widely so as to enable all concerned stakeholders to submit their views.
