The central government constitutes the pay commission every 10 years to revise
the pay scale of its employees and often these are adopted by states after some
modifications.
The Commission was set up by the UPA government in February 2014 to revise
remuneration of about 48 lakh central government employees and 55 lakh
pensioners.
The Union Cabinet had extended the term of the panel in August by four months,
till December. The 6th Pay Commission was implemented with effect from January
1, 2006.
