7th Pay Commission: Government employees wait for good news on allowances as Cabinet meets today
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi returned home from his US visit last night, nearly 50 lakh Central government employees are waiting with bated breath to get the good news on allowances today.
Narendra Modi-led Cabinet will meet today and is likely to discuss and decide on the revised allowance structure under the Seventh Pay Commission for government employees.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is expected to table the report in front of the Cabinet today and among various issues the increase in House Rent Allowance (HRA) is likely to be discussed.
According to some reports, Narendra Modi met Arun Jaitley before leaving for the US and had suggested that there should not be further delay in announcing allowances for Central government employees.
