West Bengal’s 7th Pay Commission held its first meeting at Nabanna and decided to launch a dedicated website, a senior official said Monday. The commission has not made any recommendations on salaries, allowances or pensions.
The website, expected to go live soon, will carry official notifications, commission activities, and a facility for stakeholders to submit memoranda. The panel, headed by retired IAS officer Atanu Chakraborty, urged employees to ignore social media rumours about pay changes. It is at an initial stage and has not proposed any revision yet.
Social media is already buzzing with exaggerated claims about new pay scales, but the commission has said nothing of the sort. Jumping to conclusions before the panel even begins its work helps no one. The real test will be whether the commission publishes its data and methodology on the website for public scrutiny. That will separate fact from rumour.
