Led by Union Cabinet Secretary, the National Council of JCM includes representatives from recognized employee unions and service associations.
8th Pay Commission: The National Council of the Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM) will hold a meeting next month, according to the reports. The National Council of the Joint Consultative Machinery is the apex body in the JCM scheme which deals with various issues affecting central government employees. Reports suggest that the Central government employee unions are hoping to get some clarity next month on the Centre possibly setting up the 8th Pay Commission.
The JCM scheme serves as a platform for constructive dialogue between staff representatives and government officials, facilitating the peaceful resolution of disputes between the government as an employer and its employees.
The JCM scheme states that the ordinary meeting of the National Council of Departmental Council may be held as often as necessary but not less than once in four months. Led by the Union Cabinet Secretary, the National Council of JCM includes representatives from recognized employee unions and service associations.
According to the Financial Express report, Shiv Gopal Mishra, secretary (staff side) of NC-JCM, said that a clarity on 8th Pay Commission’s formation is expected in the next month’s meeting.
It is important to note that the National Council of the Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM) has submitted two memorandums, seeking setting up of the pay commission at the earliest.
To recall, in July, the first memorandum was presented to Rajiv Gauba, the Union Cabinet Secretary during the Union Budget presentation. Mishra said that the second memorandum was submitted to his successor, T.V. Somanathan, who assumed the role of Cabinet Secretary on August 30.
Ahead of the Union Budget 2024-25, presented in Parliament on July 23, various media reports suggested that the Modi government might announce the formation of the 8th Pay Commission in the budget. However, this did not happen.
