What is the Pay Commission Salary?
The Pay Commission is a body set up by the Central Government of India to revise and recommend changes in the salaries, pensions, and allowances of government employees and retirees.
The 7th Pay Commission, implemented on 1 July 2016, introduced significant changes to pay structures and allowances, aiming to improve the financial well-being and job satisfaction of government staff. These commissions are typically established every 10 years to ensure salaries keep up with inflation and changing economic conditions.
