Delay should not deter CG employees
Sources say that the delay of the NAC meeting should not deter both CG employees and pensioners. The delay is owing to the holidays and hence the meeting should not be convened.

The latest news on the 7th Pay Commission is that the fitment factor would rise to 3 times. This would have an impact on both the CG employees and pensioners. This would mean that the basic pay would go up from Rs 18,000 to Rs 21,000. Employees have been asking for a hike of Rs 26,000, but the government is unlikely to go ahead with that and will stick to Rs 21,000.
