The Seventh Pay Commission, headed by former chief secretary K. Sudhakar Rao, submitted its final report to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on March 16. The commission recommended a 27.5% hike in pay to Karnataka government employees.
Mr. Siddaramaiah informed that the government has already released an interim hike of 17% on basic pay to all employees. The State Finance Department (FD) would study the final report and take a decision based on its recommendations.
If the government implements the final report, the minimum salary of government employees would go up from ₹17,000 to ₹27,000 per month.
