This is considered to be the lowest ever salary hike recommended by any pay commission in the past seven decades. The sixth pay commission, implemented in 2008 had proposed 20 per cent increase in basic pay, which was nearly doubled by the then UPA government following a revision.

Despite the modest recommendations made by the Commission, majority of Class-1 and Class-2 employees of the central workforce are satisfied. However, the unions stood up in revolt, demanding an increase in the minimum salary from the proposed Rs 18,000 to Rs 26,000.

The campaign seeking increase in the entry-level salary is being led by National Joint Council of Action (NJAC). The conglomeration of central unions, comprising nearly 33 lakh employees, threatened to go on a strike from July 11. However, an assurance given by the Centre to look into their demands, followed by the constitution of High Level Committee, compelled them to defer the strike by at least four months. According to sources, the High Level Committee is likely to recommend an increase in the minimum salary from Rs 18,000 to Rs 20,000.
