PAY COMMISSION AND THEIR AGENDA FROM 1ST TO 6TH PAY COMMISSION

Pay Commissions and their Agendas from 1st to 6th Pay Commission

Each Pay Commission is unique

Right from the first CPC introduced in 1946 to the 6^th CPC in 2006 each has a unique agenda. The first pay commission has taken life span into consideration. The second CPC has notified that the salaries should be in accordance to run the government sector efficiently with all the required facilities. The third CPC has recommended that the salaries should be according to meet the necessities of life. The fourth CPC has recommended that a permanent department should be set up to review the central government employee’s salaries as and when required (which is not taken into consideration by the government). As the employees demanded that the government employee’s salaries should be in par with the government sector undertakings (PSUs), the fifth pay scale commission has made it clear that government service is different from the public sectors. Finally the 6^th pay commission has announced that they have focused on not only offering a proper salary package to the government employees but also to regularize the government job sector and offer best services to the common man.
