It is understood that the VII Central Pay Commission has finalised its report and will be submitting the same to the Government shortly. The CPC was to submit its report by August 2015. It requested for two months extension and the government gave 4 months till December 2015. However, the CPC is expected to give the recommendations within a few days, probably in September itself.

The recommendations are expected to be implemented w.e.f. 01-01-2016, after 10 years of the last CPC.  What about the wage revision of BSNL employees? If the revision period is calculated 10 years, the revision should take place from 01-01-2017. Only 15 months are left.

It is high time that the wage negotiations started. But the management is sitting tight. The DPE which has to take initiative for the Pay Revision Committee for PSUs has  also not moved. The PRC is yet to be appointed.
