The Union government is likely to issue a notification for the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations this week. The Cabinet, last month, approved the recommendations made by the 7th pay commission. The 7th Pay Commission recommendations relating to allowances has been referred to a Finance Secretary Committee by the cabinet, which is expected to submit its reports in four months. Until this, allowances are to be paid according to the existing rates under the existing pay structure, says a cabinet note. Once the notification is issued, central government employees could get the revised pay from their August salaries.
