While issuing the 7th Pay Commission order, the human resource development ministry had said institutions would have to generate 30 per cent of the required additional cost for implementing the revised pay scale. The 6th Pay Revision documents had spoken about an 80:20 formula. The issue of internal funds generation has led to protests by teacher associations across the country. The Delhi University Teachers Association (DUTA) observed a strike on Wednesday. The All India Federation of University and College Teachers Organisations will also support the DUTA in opposing the new funding formula.
