The committee on allowances is ready to submit its report even two months in advance, when the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley calls up after his foreign visits.

“The arrears of hike in basic pay is usually only paid. No arrears for allowances is paid, as per usual practice, the allowances is paid from the date of starting payment of salaries on the recommendation of the new pay commission, the 7th Pay Commission recommendations has been started from August.

“The two meetings of the committee were held on August 4 and September 1 and the committee has finalised the report. The committee on allowances is ready to submit its report even two months in advance, when the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley calls up after his foreign visits, the committee will submit its report,” the sources assured.

“The FM is likely to approve the proposal of committee on allowances which will stick to the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations on allowances like glue and the higher allowances will be implemented with prospective effect from August 2016,” the sources confirmed.
