The Central Government has proposed the 8th Pay Commission, which is being analyzed. Sources say the Central Government hasn't commented yet, but discussions are ongoing.

The Central Government has proposed the 8th Pay Commission, which is being analyzed. DA and DR should be calculated on a 3-month average instead of 12 months.

The Confederation's proposal could change DA and DR for government employees. DA calculation should be changed so all govt employees receive compensation based on actual inflation every three months, like bank and LIC employees.

The letter emphasizes uniformity in DA/DR calculation, noting bank employees' DA changes quarterly. Other central govt employees lose 0.9% DA in six months. DA/DR should be calculated 'point-to-point' like for bank and LIC employees.
