8th Pay Commission Reviews Pension and Salary Revision Demands from Pensioners and Employees
The 8th Pay Commission is reviewing proposals from pensioners and employee groups, including Bharat Pensioners Samaj, which has demanded a minimum pension of Rs 45,000 and a minimum basic salary of Rs 69,000 for central government employees. Other key demands include revising pay and pensions every five years, increasing the retirement age for teachers from 60 to 65, restoring the Old Pension Scheme, and revising Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief quarterly to better address inflation. These recommendations are under consideration and await government approval.
