The 8th Pay Commission has begun consultations on the upcoming salary revision and is inviting inputs from central government employees, pensioners, and other stakeholders.
A key meeting is scheduled in Dehradun for April 24, where representatives of employee unions, pensioners' associations, and other stakeholders are expected to present their views on pay structures, allowances, and pension-related issues.
The Commission is travelling to different parts of the country and holding similar meetings to understand real, ground-level problems faced by employees and retirees before making any recommendations.
The feedback collected from these meetings will help the Commission decide how much salaries, pensions and benefits should be revised in the future.
The Commission said that if any group wants to share their views, they need to request an appointment in advance.
The notice, dated March 30, read, "A team of the 8th Central Pay Commission shall be visiting Dehradun, Uttarakhand on April 24. Interested stakeholders, including central government organisations/institutions and unions/associations desirous of interacting with the Commission at Dehradun, may kindly submit their request seeking an appointment at manish.kr1975@nic.in on or before April 10."
After that, the Commission will inform selected participants about the exact venue and timing of the meeting. "Venue details and meeting schedule shall be intimated subsequently," it read.
