No interim report by Sixth pay Commission

The Commission clarifies that

Reports have appeared in a section of the media that the Sixth Central Pay Commission has submitted interim reports and some newspapers have even published replacement scales supposedly recommended by the Commission. It is clarified that the Commission has not submitted any interim report or recommendations. It may be recalled that the Commission was notified on October 5, 2006 and is expected to give its report within the stipulated time of eighteen months.

So they have time up to April 2008, which may even be extended. If it is extended by about six months, the Report may come sometime around October 2008 and that is too close to the next General Elections, if not held earlier. So all those Government employees who are eagerly waiting for the Pay Commission Report to plan their future may have to wait a little longer.
