#Pay Commission

Punjab High Court ordered the state to implement the 6th Pay Commission’s dearness allowance and dearness relief on the central pattern and declared the age-tiered liquidation plan unconstitutional under Article 14, directing immediate payment of all arrears with interest. The ruling affects all Punjab government employees awaiting these allowances.

Bombay High Court upholds the retrospective implementation of 6th Pay Commission scales for non-teaching staff in unaided private institutions from 1 January 2006, rejecting financial burden arguments. The ruling reinforces that unaided institutions cannot evade statutory pay revisions under Article 14, impacting thousands of employees in similar institutions.

Allahabad HC rules that daily wagers with continuous service since 2004 are entitled to a minimum pay scale of Rs. 18,000/month under the Office Memo dated 24.09.2024, directing payment within eight weeks. The judgment underscores that administrative breaks do not negate entitlement to minimum wages for long-serving daily wagers.
