R S Gujral, is likely to be appointed Member-Secretary of 7th Pay Commission.
The present Secretary Expenditure may be appointed as Member- Secretary of 7th CPC.
The Central Government is likely to notify the the pay commission within the next two
months The timing is in such a way that it is well before the model code of conduct for the
general elections comes into force. Such a move will bring a positive mood for the central
government employees towards the government.

Additionally the Center is expected to give the panel enough time to prepare its report in the 

hope that the government would be a lot more comfortable vis-a-vis the fiscal deficit by the 

time the panel submits its report. Government employees have also asked the Center to 

consider merging dearness allowance with their pay, arguing that the Sixth Pay Commission

like the Centre, could not have anticipated the high inflation that has eroded real wages over 

the last decade. The demand was made at a preliminary meeting held between the department of personnel 

and the employee representatives to discuss the proposed Seventh Pay Commission. It is 

learnt that the present Secretary Expenditure like the Centre, could not have anticipated the high inflation that has eroded real wages over the last decade.
