The Meghalaya State Employees Association has called for an early constitution of the Sixth Pay Commission to expedite salary revisions for state staff.
The Meghalaya State Employees Association (MSEA) has formally appealed to the state government to constitute the Sixth Pay Commission ahead of the usual schedule, citing the need for timely salary revisions for Meghalaya's public servants.
According to the union, prolonged delays in setting up the commission impede regular pay adjustments, affecting employee morale and financial planning across various departments.
State officials have not yet issued a response, but have indicated that the request will be examined in upcoming consultations with stakeholder groups.
If constituted, the Sixth Pay Commission will review existing pay scales, allowances and other benefit structures for civil servants in the state, aiming to align remuneration with contemporary cost‑of‑living indices.
The MSEA's demand mirrors similar calls in other Indian states for faster pay‑commission processes to ensure that government employees receive equitable compensation.
