8th Pay Commission: The Central Government has finally appointed the 8th Pay Commission Director, almost one year after the 8th CPC announcement. The delayed hiring decision has generated more anger and frustration than relief. Ashish Yadav has now been appointed as the 8th CPC director on a deputation basis.

8th Pay Commission-Hiring Order
The director’s hiring order has now been stated in the office memorandum issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).
The appointment has been made by the Central Government under the Central Staffing Scheme. The hiring order specifies that Ashish Yadav has to join within a period of three weeks else debarment proceedings would be initiated against him. The Federation is furious that at one time the government is acting strict on paperwork but the ground-level preparations at the same time appear to be bleak.
Federation Furious
Dr. Manjeet Patel, National President of the All India NPS Employees Federation, remarked that the basic infrastructure, office setup and staffing would now initiate after the director’s name has been finalized. Patel added it would take several months at this pace just to get started with work. He went on to remark that the ‘ease of governance’ exists only in speeches but not in reality.
Patel demanded direct and quick intervention from the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He commented that PM Modi should immediately issue directions so that the 8th CPC could start work at war footing else millions of central government employees and pensioners would not be able to get their dues on time.
