Central Pay Commissions phrases of reference inflexible: AITUC common secretary

The All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) has stated right here on Wednesday (October 29, 2025) that the eighth Central Pay Commission (CPC) ought to do justice to the federal government staff and pensioners. Criticising the delay in saying the CPC, AITUC common secretary Amarjeet Kaur stated although the choice to represent the CPC was introduced forward of the Delhi Assembly election in January this yr, it took ten months for the Centre to represent the panel. She stated the choice went to the chilly storage and now it’s being introduced few days forward of Bihar Assembly polls.

“It took 10 months for [Prime Minister] Narendra Modi-led authorities to appoint a chairperson and a part-time member for the Commission. The Commission has been given 18 months’ time to submit its report back to the federal government, which implies we are able to anticipate the report/ suggestions of the eighth Central Pay Commission solely through the center of the yr 2027 and by the point the federal government takes a choice, whether it is honest sufficient, it could go as much as the top of the yr 2027. The authorities staff each Central and States have to attend for one more two extra years to get their wages revised. This is an injustice on them,” she stated.

Ms. Kaur stated the ‘Terms of Reference’ given by the federal government to the CPC is so inflexible with a number of compulsions to finalise its suggestions, such because the financial situations and monetary prudence.

“All these involves the thoughts of the federal government solely when it comes for giving any profit to the workers and pensioners. Such financial situations and monetary prudence and many others., are by no means thought of by the Modi authorities when giving concessions/ reliefs and written off of loans taken by the corporates from the nationalised banks, or discount of tax charges on the corporates, and many others.,” she added.
