SEVENTH PAY COMMISSION INDIA

The government on Tuesday set up a four-member seventh central pay commission headed by former Supreme Court judge Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur. While the pay panel was announced in September, the government said its composition was now cleared by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Apart from Justice Mathur, the other members include petroleum secretary Vivek Rae, who is due to retire later this month, National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP) director Rathin Roy and Meena Agarwal, who is currently in the finance ministry.
