In a reply of question regarding 7th CPC, Minister of State for Finance Sri N.N. Mina has stated that as there is normally a gap of ten years between successive pay commissions, the Govt. is presently not considering setting up of seventh pay commission for central Govt. employees. This answer was given on 23.04.2013 on the upper house of parliament. "The recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission were given effect to from 1.1.2006. Generally, there has been a gap of a minimum 10 years between two successive Pay Commissions. Therefore, no proposal to constitute the Seventh Central Pay Commission is at present under consideration." But as per information from our sources that Govt. is actively considering it unofficially and may be not in near future, it may be announced in the later part of the current calender year.

The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved a proposal to increase dearness allowance (DA) by 8 percent to 80 percent from existing 72 percent. The move will benefit about 50 lakh employees and 30 lakh pensioners of the central government. 

Confederation letter on Protest against delay of DA announcement               Since the implementation of the recommendations of the 4 th   central pay commission in 1986, the Dearness Allowance (DA) is paid in two six-monthly installments – in March and September of every year. The practice followed since then is that the order granting DA to government employees is issued in March and September itself.               This time the practice in force since 1986 is violated. Our enquiries with concerned Ministries informed us that the file is already moved for Cabinet approval. But it is nearly a month now. The cabinet has found no time to take a decision on this.
