Let us tell you that the question listed for written answer was asked by the Parliament whose name will be Anand Bhadoria and along with this, due to the pressure of monetary situation for a long time, there has been increasing concern among lakhs of government employees and retired employees, which this directly addresses.

The Finance Minister, whose name is Nirmala Sitharaman, has to answer on specific points which are as follows:-
- Has the government recently published a notification for the formation of the Eighth Central Pay Commission?
- If the answer is yes, then what are the details of the official notification published containing the composition of the proposed Commission along with the complete terms and conditions of reference?
- Does the government propose, as an immediate relief measure, to include the existing dearness allowance for employees and dearness relief for pensioners in the basic pay? The question highlights that the demand stems from the establishment’s view that the existing dearness allowance and relief have failed to keep pace with actual retail inflation over the past three decades.
