During the last installment of discussions with the Staff Side of JCM National Council, the VII CPC has informed that its Report will be submitted to the Government by the first week of August 2015. It was stated that it is recommending that the pay revision should be implemented with effect from 01-01-2016. However, there has been no assurance either on the Merger of DA with Pay or the Interim Relief, which the Staff Side has sought for earlier.
