What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The 8th Central Pay Commission is currently in consultation, gathering input from central government employees, pensioner groups, and unions before releasing its final recommendations next year. During a visit to Mumbai, multiple employee unions demanded that the government officially announce the merger of Dearness Allowance (DA) with basic salary. This issue is relevant because the current DA component comprises 60% of basic pay, exceeding the 50% threshold stipulated by the 7th CPC.
