3-member Panel to examine Sixth Pay Commission recommendations

Chennai, Aug 20 : The Tamil Nadu Government today constituted a three-member official panel to examine the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission, announced by the Centre, for extending the same to the State Government employees.

An official release here said the panel, comprising Principal Secretaries of Finance, School Education and Employees and Administrative Reforms, would examine the Commission's recommendations and submit a report to the State Government in three months.

Based on the panel's recommendations, the State Government would implement the same for its employees, teachers and for those employed in local bodies.

The panel would also study the pension benefits announced in the pay commission and recommend to the government for extending the benefit to its pensioners.

Authorised representatives and associations would send their demands on revision of pay scales to the panel, the release added.

The constitution of the panel comes in the wake of Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's announcement during the Independence day address that the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations would be extended to the State Government employees.
