The formation of much-awaited 8th Pay Commission has picked up pace with the Ministry of Finance issuing a vacancy circular last week. As per the notification released by the Department of Expenditure under the finance ministry, the government is looking to fill up as many as 35 posts in the 8th CPC. The postings will be done on deputation basis, the circular added. This means that the members of the 8th Pay Commission will return to their parent organisation after the closure of the CPC.
"It is proposed to fill up the 35 posts in 8th Central Pay Commission on deputation basis. These posts are to be staffed for the period from the date of constitution of the 8th CPC till the closure of the Commission," the circular dated April 17 said.
Regarding the norms under which the vacancies will be filled, the circular stated that the 8th CPC appointments will be governed by the “regular norms prescribed by the DoPT from time to time.”
The Department of Expenditure also said that this was an “open-ended circular." This means that the "appointment will be considered on a continuous basis until are vacancies are filled.” The circular has also asked for verified applications “at the earliest.”
The circular is a critical update regarding the formation of the 8th CPC. Previous reports had claimed that the Centre is likely to make an announcement regarding the CPC constitution at the start of new financial year. Moneycontrol had earlier reported about ‘terms of references’ will be finalised by March-end with Cabinet nod soon. However, there has been no official update so far.
