in Kerala and made some gains in West Bengal, they said.
The BJP led central government is now in a pleasant mood, accordingly it may be announced better
pay package of central government employees employees soon than 7th Pay Commission
recommendations, they confirmed.

of 14.27 per cen, which recommended was recommended by 7th Pay Commission. They are also
