  • A Pay Commission decides the salary and compensation of Central government employees and allowances of pensioners. 
  • It is set up by the Department of Expenditure, Union Ministry of Finance.  
  • It is generally set up every 10 years by the central government. 
  • The commission recommends salary structure and formulas for revising dearness allowance and dearness relief for central government employees and pensioners to offset the impact of inflation. 
    • These recommendations are not binding on the central government. 
  • It consults with central and state governments, along with other stakeholders, before recommending salary structures, benefits, and allowances for government employees.
  • Seven pay commissions have been set up since 1947.  
    • The last one was constituted in 2014 and implemented in 2016.
